D-Wave Announces Collaborations to Advance Quantum Coherence
Funded by NSERC grants, the work with researchers from the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of
The two multi-year projects between D-Wave and the researchers were funded through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of
“Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize how we tackle societal problems. Key to this transformation is the ability to provide larger quantum systems with greater coherence, and these NSERC projects each facilitate important R&D for these next-generation systems,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “We’re excited to engage with the University of
"The collaboration with D-Wave will provide a unique opportunity to explore fundamental aspects of the physics of a new generation of superconducting qubits, which have the potential to enable new quantum computing architectures,” said Dr. Adrian Lupascu, professor at the Institute for Quantum Computing and Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of
“I would like to thank NSERC for the opportunity to collaborate with D-Wave. These funds provide essential support for my research team to work with D-Wave on developing improved superconducting components for quantum computing and quantum devices. In addition, the collaboration will contribute to building up Canada’s quantum-ready workforce, as my team gains valuable experience in the fast-growing cryogenic and quantum computing sector,” said Dr. Jan Kycia, Physics and Astronomy professor at the University of
