According to D-Wave, it’s the first commercial supplier of quantum computers and the only one to offer dual-platform quantum computing products and services, spanning annealing and gate-model quantum computing technologies.

According to IBM, quantum computing is an emergent field of computer science and engineering that uses quantum mechanics to solve problems faster than classical supercomputers.

“We’re seeing quantum computing technologies emerge as potentially powerful alternatives to existing classical approaches.

“Quantum computing is showing great potential to help organizations accelerate decision-making, mitigate disruption and drive better operational outcomes.

We’re excited to partner with D-Wave, one of the quantum computing industry’s foremost leaders, to bring quantum into our research portfolio and ultimately benefit students and partners alike.”
