Collaboration aims to further quantum education and industry
adoption efforts
D-Wave Quantum Inc., a leading provider of quantum computing
systems, software, and services, has joined the Chicago Quantum
Exchange (CQE) as a corporate partner. The company, which serves a
wide range of industries, helps customers derive value from today’s
quantum technologies by solving complex computational problems
spanning optimization, research and artificial intelligence.
It aims to engage with the CQE community on materials science
research, quantum education, and the development of practical
optimization use cases, including for the manufacturing and
logistics industries.
“Quantum computing has the potential to create new paths for
solving some of society’s most difficult challenges, but to realize
this vision, we need to accelerate industry adoption and ensure
that the future quantum workforce has access to education programs
geared toward real-world applications,” said David Awschalom, the
Liew Family Professor in Molecular Engineering and Physics at the
University of Chicago and the director of the Chicago Quantum
Exchange. “We look forward to collaborating with D-Wave to advance
these shared goals.”
D-Wave, founded in 1999, is developing two types of
superconducting quantum computers: annealing systems, currently at
5,000+-qubits, and gate-based systems. D-Wave offers cloud access
to its current annealing quantum computing systems as well as
open-source software and support services for customers across a
variety of sectors, including government, education, manufacturing,
logistics, financial services, life sciences, retail and more.
“As the world’s first commercial quantum computing company,
D-Wave is at the forefront of quantum innovation, education, and
adoption,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “Our efforts are
well aligned with the Chicago Quantum Exchange’s mission of
fostering a Midwest-based quantum community that advances quantum
science, trains the future quantum workforce, and, ultimately,
drives the quantum economy. We’re thrilled to join the CQE and look
forward to working together to support its efforts in helping
Chicago become a central driver of US leadership in quantum.”
The CQE is based at the University of Chicago and anchored by
the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory, the University of Illinois
Urbana-Champaign, the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Northwestern
University, and Purdue University. The CQE includes about 50
corporate, international, nonprofit, and regional partners.
D-Wave is also a member of MxD, a Chicago-based digital
manufacturing innovation center focused on providing solutions for
the domestic defense industrial base. MxD members can use D-Wave’s
quantum computing technologies today to solve a variety of
optimization problems that they face, including optimization for
logistics and manufacturing, materials sciences, mobility, supply
chain management, and more.
Both MxD and the CQE are members of The Bloch Quantum Tech Hub.
Governor J.B. Pritzker announced a multi-year plan to support
quantum commercialization in the region. D-Wave’s technology,
products, and training are expected to play a role in these
efforts.
