D-Wave has just announced the general availability of his new Discrete Quadratic mModel (DQM) solver which is now accessible through the Leap™ quantum cloud service.
The DQM solver provides developers and businesses the ability to apply the benefits of hybrid quantum computing to new problem classes. Instead of accepting problems with only binary variables (0 or 1), the DQM solver uses other variable sets (e.g., integers from 1 to 10, or red, yellow, and blue), expanding the types of problems that can run on the Quantum Computer.
