D-Wave Awarded National Research Council of Canada Funding to Advance Commercial Annealing Quantum Computing

QBTS
  • D-Wave Quantum Inc. secured up to CAD $300,000 in funding from the National Research Council of Canada's Applied Quantum Computing Challenge program.
  • The collaboration with NRC focuses on developing next-generation open-source algorithms & software for D-Wave's Advantage2 annealing quantum computers.
  • The project aims to create new graph minor-embedding algorithms for the Zephyr™ topology & integrate them into the Ocean™ SDK.
  • These enhancements are expected to expand the scale & complexity of optimization problems solvable across logistics, manufacturing, scheduling, resource allocation, machine learning, & quantum simulation.
  • Dr. Trevor Lanting, D-Wave's chief development officer, emphasized that software innovation is critical for extending quantum computing capabilities & strengthening Canada's quantum ecosystem.
  • D-Wave remains the only dual-platform quantum computing company offering both annealing & gate-model systems, serving over 100 organizations globally.
