D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, and QuantumBasel, Switzerland’s quantum innovation hub, recently announced a two-year extension to the strategic agreement between the companies to accelerate quantum and quantum-hybrid application development in Europe.
As a part of the agreement, D-Wave will open a European office on the QuantumBasel campus to establish an onsite presence supporting the companies’ joint efforts to fast-track the region’s commercialization of quantum computing. D-Wave’s commitment to opening its European office reflects the growing regional customer interest in and usage of the company’s annealing quantum computing solutions, including the Advantage(TM) system.
Advantage is a fifth-generation annealing quantum system with 5,000+ qubits and 15-way connectivity. D-Wave has incorporated two decades of quantum technology development experience and over ten years of customer feedback to build the first and only quantum computer designed for business applications and operating today.
In addition to QuantumBasel, D-Wave’s European customers include BBVA, Koç Holding, Satispay, Poznan Superconducting and Network Center, and Cineca. Several other leading organizations also utilize D-Wave’s technology including Mastercard, Deloitte, ArcelorMittal, Siemens Healthineers, Unisys, NEC Corporation, Pattison Food Group Ltd., DENSO and Lockheed Martin.
“This extended partnership with D-Wave solidifies our shared dedication to quantum innovation in Switzerland and beyond,” said Damir Bogdan, CEO of QuantumBasel (https://ibn.fm/CA6hg). “Our collaboration is a promise to drive quantum advancements and progress towards broader commercial adoption.”
The initial strategic collaboration between D-Wave and QuantumBasel was signed in December 2022, which named D-Wave as the annealing quantum technology provider for QuantumBasel, giving the center’s tenants and customers access to the Advantage annealing quantum computer via D-Wave’s real-time Leap(TM) quantum cloud service. Since the agreement, uptownBasel and D-Wave have successfully led joint go-to-market initiatives and worked on numerous customer engagements.
Using the Leap quantum cloud service, D-Wave customers have developed quantum hybrid applications for use cases in manufacturing, logistics, financial services, life sciences, materials science, retail, and transportation. With quantum computational processing power, D-Wave is helping businesses accelerate time-to-solution for their complex computing problems. The company shares real-world quantum applications at a business scale through its client success stories (https://ibn.fm/DgnCG).
“QuantumBasel and D-Wave share a vision of solving the world’s most complex problems for the betterment of industry and society. Today’s announcement reflects strong progress toward achieving that mission, as joint customers are quickly realizing the near-term advantage of D-Wave’s quantum technology,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “Through our collaboration and now our European office presence, we anticipate accelerated momentum for quantum and quantum-hybrid applications moving into production and fueling operations.”
