About AQUA@home
D-Wave's AQUA (Adiabatic QUantum Algorithms) is a research project whose goal is to predict the performance of superconducting adiabatic quantum computers on a variety of hard problems arising in fields ranging from materials science to machine learning. AQUA@home uses Internet-connected computers to help design and analyze quantum computing algorithms, using Quantum Monte Carlo techniques. You can participate by running a free program on your computer.AQUA@home is based at D-Wave Systems Inc., Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
- Read this white paper on AQUA for information about the science of AQUA's application.
- You can download the AQUA application's object files for Linux 32-bit , Linux 64-bit, Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, Mac Intel 32-bit, and Mac Intel 64-bit platforms. These files can be used to optionally regenerate AQUA's executables. They may not always be uptodate.
- See the results of your computations.
- You can download the problem files we are using in AQUA@home's simulations to see what problems are being sent to your computer.
- Visit D-Wave's Web page
- Contact us for any question regarding AQUA.
