Quantum workflow has improved project organization and simplifies building large optimization code
The only problem that I encountered with D-Wave Leap is that you must send a whole task in one object. I understand that this was not the first priority for them, and I hope one day they will change this or provide documentation about the maximum object size, because my personal problem was that my QUBO task was about 500 gigabytes, and it is impossible to make 500 gigabytes as one object for computers since it is a QUBO task. However, it should be easy to divide a QUBO task into multiple objects. Apart from the object and task constraints that I mentioned, I really enjoyed using D-Wave Leap and quantum computers. This was the only issue I could identify because my task was very large. The course I received was not very informative because it covered basic computing concepts that one can learn in an hour through online resources.
