From scheduling and routing to resource allocation and planning, optimization problems become more computationally complex as operations scale.

In our next webinar on Feb. 25, 2026 at 8 a.m. PT/11:00 a.m. ET, we’ll take a closer look at D-Wave’s Stride™ hybrid solver, which combines the strengths of annealing quantum computing and classical computing to help customers address problems that classical-only methods may not be able to effectively or efficiently solve.

The session, presented by Catherine G. Potts, Ph.D., Principal Technical Account Manager at D-Wave, includes a live demo and practical guidance on getting started, without requiring deep quantum expertise.

You’ll learn how the Stride hybrid solver is used to address large-scale and nonlinear optimization problems, improve solution quality and scalability, and accelerate time to value, all through D-Wave’s Leap™ quantum cloud service.

با اینکه هر صبح نام آنان که دیگر در کنارمان نیستند، چون زخمی تازه بر جانم می‌نشیند،
اما یادشان در رگ‌های ما جاری است،و این خونِ به ناحق ریخته، هرگز پایمال نخواهد شد.

زندگی با همه زخم‌هایش هنوز نفس می‌کشد.
خورشید، حتی پشت ابرهای سیاه، راه خود را به آسمان باز می‌کند.

من هر روز می‌کوشم
در میان این مصیبتِ تلخ و جان‌فرسا،
چراغی هرچند کوچک روشن کنم؛
لبخندی بیافرینم،
دستی بگیرم،
و جرعه‌ای امید در کامِ خسته‌ی جامعه‌ام بریزم.

شاید اشک‌هایمان جاری باشد،
اما ایمان داریم که سپیده خواهد رسید؛
و تا آن روز،
با قلبی زخمی اما استوار،
ایستاده می‌مانیم و زندگی را با
همه دردهایش ادامه می‌دهیم.

🔐⚡️ Breaking RSA-2048 with ~100,000 physical qubits?
Introducing the Pinnacle Architecture — a fault-tolerant quantum design using quantum LDPC (QLDPC) codes to dramatically reduce overhead.
Key breakthroughs:
🔹 Universal fault-tolerant quantum computation with lower spacetime cost
🔹 Order-of-magnitude reduction vs surface code architectures
🔹 RSA-2048 factoring with < 100k physical qubits (p = 10⁻³, 1µs cycle time)
🔹 Modular processing units + “magic engines” for constant T-state throughput
🔹 Scalable design with limited connectivity requirements
This work challenges the long-standing assumption that utility-scale quantum computing requires millions of physical qubits.
A major step toward practical quantum advantage.
