Digital Annealer Tutorials
Combinatorial optimization problems arise in many areas of business life and in almost all industries. The skillful use of resources can often result in considerable savings. However, the best solution is often difficult to achieve with conventional algorithms. Quantum algorithms can reveal new options here, but the technology is still very new and unfamiliar. With this tutorial we hope to make it easier for you to start. With small example scenarios for seating plans, work distribution or cab routes, you will learn step by step how to model and program and how to run the optimizations.
Your access to the Tutorials
We aim to open the world of combinatorial optimization to interested users by providing a comprehensive tutorial for trying out, learning and further development.
The tutorials are provided as an installable file set. Please click on the “Download Digital Annealer Tutorials” button at the bottom of this page to request the tutorials.
Who are the Tutorials for?
The target group for the Digital Annealer tutorials ranges from beginners in combinatorial optimization to experts who want to try out the Digital Annealer for themselves after successfully completing the tutorials.
These tutorials are waiting for you
