D-Wave Quantum joins Chicago Quantum Exchange as corporate partner

D-Wave Quantum 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.”
