D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, and NEC Australia recently announced the introduction of two new quantum services to the Australian market, enhancing the quantum computing offerings available to Australia’s commercial sector, federal and state governments, and academia (https://ibn.fm/x9b2Y).
The quantum technology services from NEC Australia and D-Wave can optimize business operations faster than classical computers and navigate increasingly large datasets to find solutions to real-world problems, including logistics and supply chain management, emergency response, financial risk modeling, and drug discovery.
D-Wave and NEC Australia’s joint service offerings include:
- Quantum Consultancy Service: NEC Australia and D-Wave develop and test quantum solutions to help address their customers’ complex challenges using Proof of Concepts (“POCs”) through a refined engagement and delivery methodology. Quantum solutions can be seamlessly migrated into practical business applications. This service, powered by D-Wave’s skilled quantum data scientists, provides hands-on support to help customers understand and transform complex business problems into optimized technical solutions for efficient and cost-effective implementations.
- Leap Quantum Cloud Service: Customers can access D-Wave’s Leap real-time quantum cloud service, enabling them to perform their own research while tapping into the cutting-edge capabilities of quantum computing. This service provides immediate, real-time access to D-Wave’s Advantage(TM) quantum computers and quantum-hybrid solvers, offering enterprise-class performance and scalability.
Murray Thom, Vice President of Quantum Technology Evangelism at D-Wave, said quantum computing is at an important inflection point, as it moves from experimentation to operational use, helping organizations solve their computationally complex problems through real-world applications at scale. “We’re thrilled to team up with NEC to accelerate commercial and government adoption of this transformative technology in Australia and bring its remarkable potential to bear for business and society,” Thom said.
NEC Australia’s Vice President – Technology & Innovation, Ayala Domani, said the company was delighted to work with D-Wave to provide transformative quantum solutions in Australia and ensure that its customers remain agile, efficient, and competitive in an increasingly data-driven world. “Quantum computing is no longer solely the subject of futuristic speculation or found only in top-secret research facilities; it’s a commercially available technology that is revolutionizing business and government operations today, and NEC Australia and D-Wave are proud to lead the way forward in this space,” Domani added.
Domani and Thom also recently spoke at Quantum Australia 2024 in Sydney – representing NEC Australia and D-Wave. Held at the state-of-the-art Winx Stand at Royal Randwick, the three-day in-person program explored the theme “Accelerating Impact: From Research to Commercialisation and Developing Quantum Technology Markets’.”
NEC Australia has 50 years of expertise in delivering complex technical solutions to Australian government agencies and businesses. D-Wave has over 20 years of global leadership in quantum computing solutions – together, NEC Australia and D-Wave have delivered successful local quantum applications since 2021. A shared vision unites the companies in transforming the potential of quantum computing to elevate economic prospects and opportunities for all Australians.
