D-Wave

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) is the leader in commercial quantum annealing computing and developer of the Advantage and Advantage2 quantum systems. D-Wave's Leap quantum cloud service provides real-time access to D-Wave QPUs and to the Leap hybrid solver family (BQM, CQM, DQM, NL) capable of solving industrial optimization problems with up to ~2 million variables and constraints. The open-source Ocean SDK — dimod, dwave-system, dwave-cloud-client, dwave-hybrid, dwave-samplers, dwave-optimization, minorminer, dwave-inspector, and 40+ companion packages — provides the canonical developer experience, with the underlying Solver API (SAPI) exposed as a versioned REST interface for solver discovery, problem submission, status polling, answer retrieval, and cancellation. Companion APIs include the Metadata API for region discovery and the Leap Account API for OAuth-based project and token management.

D-Wave publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Account API, Hybrid API, QPU API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Quantum Computing, Quantum Annealing, Optimization, Hybrid Quantum-Classical, and Ising.

The D-Wave catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

D-Wave’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, signup flow, sandbox, tooling, and 65 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/d-wave: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
