"D-Wave Systems Inc. has introduced its cloud-based Leap Quantum Application Environment. Developers can run code there on a live, real-time quantum computer.

The environment is more than just your standard software development kit (SDK) for creating applications, but instead offers a tiered set of learning tools, demonstrations, open-source examples, an Ocean code library with standardized Python and C++ application programmer interfaces (APIs), and Jupyter Notebooks that explain the code and allow interactive changes in parameters that instantly show how those changes affect results."
