Alan Baratz is the CEO of D-Wave and he joins host Eric Hanselman to explore quantum computing architectures, how they\u2019re evolving, and how enterprises should be considering quantum computing applications. D-Wave now offers both annealing and gate model quantum computing systems, with different types of problems being suited to each type. While many view quantum computing as a distant future, quantum approaches are delivering business value today, particularly in quantum annealing, where optimization of scheduling and processing can be done with greater precision and speed. One of the challenges the enterprises face is translating existing use cases into the quantum realm. So often, heuristics are developed to approximate the computations that are required. The shift to quantum thinking steps beyond the heuristics that were applied to reduce computational efforts and looks at directly addressing computationally complex problems. It\u2019s a shift to embracing a new way addressing some of the most challenging enterprise problems.   More S&P Global Content: Next in Tech | Ep. 248:SC25 Supercomputing conference Quantum computing and the future of data privacy   For S&P Global subscribers: Quantum Computing Market Monitor & Forecast AI, quantum and high-performance computing join forces at SC25 Access to quantum hardware remains cloudy, but more options are starting to appear Welcome to the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology Credits: Host\/Author: Eric Hanselman Guest: Alan Baratz Producer\/Editor: Feranmi Adeoshun Published With Assistance From: Sophie Carr, Kyra Smith   ","author_name":"Next in Tech","author_url":"https:\/\/www.spglobal.com\/marketintelligence\/en\/news-insights\/podcasts\/next-in-tech","html":"
