Aligned with the visit, D-Wave and the Quantum Algorithm
Institute (QAI) announced the expansion of a training program
designed to give Canadian students and researchers at
post-secondary institutions access to the LeapTM quantum cloud
service to facilitate application development. QAI discussed the
importance of the expanded quantum training program, which has
already shown great success in creating a quantum-ready workforce.
To date, students have already submitted nearly 5000 problems to
the Leap quantum cloud service.
Minister Brar and Parliamentary Secretary Routledge also met
with key D-Wave staff who have built cutting-edge quantum
technology that helps businesses, researchers, and governments
solve highly complex computational problems. D-Wave shared the
company’s recent advancements in both quantum hardware and software
solutions, including:
- The newest hybrid quantum solver designed to improve problem
solving in complex use cases such as multi-vehicle routing,
workforce management, and flow shop scheduling.
- The new qubit architecture, which provides for more powerful
quantum systems.
- Real-world quantum use cases, including e-commerce driver
delivery scheduling in the province, sustainability applications,
and the ability to tackle problems facing the public sector i.e.:
supply chain, emergency response and more. Many of these use cases
were highlighted at D-Wave’s 2024 Qubits user conference earlier
this month.
“We are honoured to have Minister Brar and Parliamentary
Secretary Routledge tour our lab to learn more about the incredible
innovations coming from our Burnaby office,” said Trevor Lanting,
chief development officer at D-Wave. “We believe that D-Wave is
leading the quantum industry globally on technical, scientific, and
commercial advancements, helping organisations solve complex
problems, many of which are also faced by the province. We are also
steadfast in our commitment to train the workforce of the future,
and our relationship with QAI provides students access to needed
training.”
“D-Wave is a B.C. innovation success story, and globally is a
driving force in the advancement of quantum technology and its
potential uses,” said Minister Brar. “We look forward to seeing
D-Wave’s quantum technology applied to help solve British
Columbia’s most pressing challenges. Our ambitious efforts to build
new trade relationships and promote our high-tech sectors are aimed
at bringing made-in-B.C. technologies like those from D-Wave to
markets around the world.”
“D-Wave continues to be a leader in quantum technology, and we
are proud to see this innovation coming out of Burnaby North,” said
Parliamentary Secretary Routledge. “D-Wave has been creating jobs
and opportunity within the province for more than two decades, and
its leadership in providing global quantum solutions is a testament
to the innovation economy we have here in British Columbia.”
“Through the QAI and D-Wave training program, we have already
been able to provide training to students and researchers from more
than 20 post-secondary institutions across Canada,” said Kelly
Best, Vice President of Operations & External Relations of the
Quantum Algorithms Institute. “This helps Canadians apply new skill
sets in quantum technologies to challenges across industries, and
the expanded relationship will provide additional training
opportunities and deeper workforce development.”
