Event participation supports D-Wave’s long-standing partnership with USC, the first U.S.-based facility to host a D-Wave Advantage™ quantum computing system

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE:QBTS) (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, announced that it is participating in today’s Quantum Technologies Forum hosted by the University of Southern California (USC). D-Wave will present the latest advancements in its annealing quantum computing technology and highlight real-world use cases from both commercial and research customers.

Today’s event participation reflects a longstanding relationship between D-Wave and USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering. In 2022, USC became the first organization in the U.S. to host a D-Wave Advantage annealing quantum computing system. The onsite Advantage system is one of the production quantum systems that business users and researchers can access via D-Wave’s Leap™ real-time quantum cloud service. It has supported USC's work across numerous quantum research and benchmarking studies in areas such as protein binding classification and quantum coherence.

“Our quantum system at USC plays an important role in supporting the university’s efforts to serve as an epicenter of quantum research and education,” said Lorenzo Martinelli, chief revenue officer at D-Wave. "Our 5,000+ qubit quantum computer – currently the world’s largest quantum computer – gives enterprise users, researchers and public sector organizations incredibly powerful computational capabilities for solving complex problems, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with USC to advance scientific progress and business transformation.”

The Quantum Technologies Forum aims to bring together experts from academia, industry, and government to advance quantum research, workforce development and the growth of a quantum technology infrastructure in Southern California. Speakers from USC Viterbi School of Engineering include Professor of Engineering Daniel Lidar, Professor of Physics and Astronomy and Quantitative and Computational Biology Rosa DiFelice, Researcher Quntao Zhuang and Prof. F. Teodoridis from USC Marshall School of Business.
