Agreement designed to foster collaboration and
usage of quantum computing solutions for optimization and AI
applications
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a
leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the
world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, and Staque,
a leading consulting and development practice in AI, blockchain and
quantum computing, announced a new strategic partnership aimed at
accelerating the commercial adoption of annealing quantum computing
across the Middle East. The partnership was revealed at Qubits UAE
in Dubai, a half-day version of D-Wave’s annual Qubits user
conference, which is showcasing “success powered by quantum”
through business optimization use cases, progress in quantum-fueled
AI technology, and demonstrations of annealing quantum computing
performance over classical computing.
Together, D-Wave and Staque will focus on helping customers
develop and deploy quantum and hybrid quantum applications designed
to address enterprise optimization and AI problems. The companies
plan to use D-Wave’s quantum computers and hybrid solvers,
accessible through D-Wave’s Leap™ quantum cloud service, to explore
quantum applications that address complex challenges facing today’s
organizations, including supply chain management, utility grid
optimization, portfolio optimization and port optimization, just to
name a few.
The partnership comes as countries in the Middle East are
focused on diversifying economic sources away from oil production
and exports, expanding into areas such as logistics, financial
services and advanced technology, according to the International
Monetary Fund.
“Our team is dedicated to pushing boundaries, embracing new
challenges, and creating impactful solutions that drive our
customers’ success,” said Dr. Muhammad Khan, CEO and founder of
Staque. “By partnering with D-Wave, the world’s first commercial
quantum computing company, we’re able to bring incredible
computational processing power to bear for our clients, with the
intention of helping them take advantage of advanced technology
solutions that can drive their businesses forward.”
“We believe organizations must embrace today’s advanced
technologies such as quantum computing and AI in order to succeed
in today’s highly competitive and complex environment,” said
Lorenzo Martinelli, chief revenue officer at D-Wave. “Staque
recognizes the transformative impact that annealing quantum
computing could have on its customers, and our shared commitment to
redefining what’s possible with technology makes this partnership
very exciting.”
