D-wave offer one minute free quantum compute time [it doesn't sound a lot, but it is]

In a move from Austin powers where Dr Evil ransoms the earth for a million dollars and later changes to 100 billion, one minute might not seem a lot. But using a D-wave can bring plenty of benefits for solving optimization problems in just a few milliseconds, so in theory there is a enough time to try out the Leap and Ocean tools from D-wave.

Dr Evil – frozen for some time, holds the world ransom for 1 million dollars.

Head along to the Qubits2020 D-wave conference taking place right now. Where you can find out about getting your “one minute” time on the latest D-wave. Find out more about D-wave and the 2020 conference.

While other quantum journalists focus on technical breakthroughs, Regina is tracking the money flows, policy decisions, and international dynamics that will actually determine whether quantum computing changes the world or becomes an expensive academic curiosity. She's spent enough time in government meetings to know that the most important quantum developments often happen in budget committees and international trade negotiations, not just research labs.
