Our objective in this project is to develop targeted circuit embedding tools that will enable a powerful application of the D-Wave's processor as a simulation and design platform for future generations of computing technology. Our focus is on tools for embedding circuits implemented using the emerging computational nanotechnology called quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA). QCA circuits are ideally matched for simulations on D-Wave's processor as the physical model of QCA is highly similar to the model implemented by the quantum annealing processor, the so called Ising spin system.

我们在这个项目中的目标是开发有针对性的电路嵌入工具，使D-Wave的处理器能够作为未来几代计算技术的模拟和设计平台的强大应用。我们的重点是使用新兴的计算纳米技术称为量子点细胞自动机（QCA）的嵌入电路的工具。QCA电路非常适合在D-Wave处理器上进行模拟，因为QCA的物理模型与量子退火处理器（所谓的伊辛自旋系统）实现的模型高度相似。
