Event participation supports D-Wave’s
long-standing partnership with USC, the first U.S.-based facility
to host a D-Wave Advantage™ quantum computing system
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE:QBTS) (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum
computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first
commercial supplier of quantum computers, announced that it is
participating in today’s Quantum Technologies Forum hosted by the
University of Southern California (USC). D-Wave will present the
latest advancements in its annealing quantum computing technology
and highlight real-world use cases from both commercial and
research customers.
Today’s event participation reflects a longstanding relationship
between D-Wave and USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering. In 2022,
USC became the first organization in the U.S. to host a D-Wave
Advantage annealing quantum computing system. The onsite Advantage
system is one of the production quantum systems that business users
and researchers can access via D-Wave’s Leap™ real-time quantum
cloud service. It has supported USC's work across numerous quantum
research and benchmarking studies in areas such as protein binding
classification and quantum coherence.
“Our quantum system at USC plays an important role in supporting
the university’s efforts to serve as an epicenter of quantum
research and education,” said Lorenzo Martinelli, chief revenue
officer at D-Wave. "Our 5,000+ qubit quantum computer – currently
the world’s largest quantum computer – gives enterprise users,
researchers and public sector organizations incredibly powerful
computational capabilities for solving complex problems, and we
look forward to continuing our collaboration with USC to advance
scientific progress and business transformation.”
The Quantum Technologies Forum aims to bring together experts
from academia, industry, and government to advance quantum
research, workforce development and the growth of a quantum
technology infrastructure in Southern California. Speakers from USC
Viterbi School of Engineering include Professor of Engineering
Daniel Lidar, Professor of Physics and Astronomy and Quantitative
and Computational Biology Rosa DiFelice, Researcher Quntao Zhuang
and Prof. F. Teodoridis from USC Marshall School of Business.
