Explore technical guides and code tutorials to build, optimize, and deploy quantum annealing applications with the D-Wave Ocean SDK. Learn how to configure local virtual environments, integrate with VS Code, authenticate with D-Wave Leap, and translate complex real-world problems into QUBO for execution on on-premises and cloud-hosted QPUs and hybrid solvers.
Integrating the D-Wave Ocean SDK into Visual Studio Code with a dedicated virtual environment establishes a secure, isolated, and scalable environment that streamlines the entire quantum development lifecycle. By isolating complex dependencies like `dimod`, `dwave-system`, and heavy scientific libraries within a local workspace, you prevent system-wide package conflicts.
This guide walks you through using Visual Studio Code (VS Code) to run and explore D-Wave’s official sample applications. D-Wave maintains an active GitHub collection (dwave-examples) containing beginner notebooks, basic script implementations, and industry-specific optimization applications.
D-Wave accounts are assigned Solver-Access Time (measured in seconds) based on your customer contract, subscription plan, or trial status. Usage is consumed whenever you execute problems on physical Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) or Leap Hybrid Solvers.
This article guides you through navigating the D-Wave Leap Portal to check your remaining time, analyze project consumption, and prevent solver quota depletion.
