D-Wave’s Quantum Software Goes Open Source, Now Anyone Can Develop Programs for Quantum Computers

If you ever wanted to have a look and see what quantum computing is really all about then now is a great time to check it out. Because there’s such a mad rush for scientists to get to the end of this quantum computing race, there’s a wealth of information on the subject just oozing out of the net, waiting for people to grab hold of and make use of.


Many people get scared when they hear the term quantum computing, but this is mainly down to the fact that they don’t really understand it. But, that may all be about to change with thanks to D-Wave, the Canadian company responsible for the quantum computers currently being tested by both NASA and Google. For the leaders, there have decided to open source one of their software tools called Qbsoly.

Qbsoly is a software tool that allows developers to program quantum computers without any prior knowledge of quantum computing. Bo Ewald is president of D-Wave International and says, “D-Wave is driving the hardware forward. But we need more smart people thinking about applications, and another set thinking about software tools.” Hence, why Qbsoly is now free for anyone to share and modify as they so wish.


D-Wave is hoping that by releasing their software out into the world, they can build a whole open-source, quantum computing community. Qbsoly will join another quantum computing software that’s already freely available, and that is Qmasm. Fred Glover, a mathematician who’s been working with Qbsoly, said, “Not everyone in the computer science community realizes the potential impact of quantum computing. Qbsoly offers a tool that can make this impact graphically visible, by getting researchers and practitioners involved in charting the future directions of quantum computing developments.”

Quantum computing is close, with NASA, Google, and IBM engineers all working on their own models. Who will be the first to properly succeed, remains to be seen. But, if you want to get involved and get stuck in, you now can. Take a look at what D-Wave’s software is all about and see if you can help crack this quantum conundrum.
