D-wave And The University Of Southern California Renew Multiyear Agreement To Advance Annealing Quantum Computing Research And Adoption

D-Wave and USC have renewed their partnership to continue exploring and adopting quantum computing solutions for businesses, researchers, and government. USC will house D-Wave’s Advantage quantum computer and provide real-time access to it through D-Wave’s Leap quantum cloud service. The system, with its highly connected topology and 5,000+ qubits, is being used to tackle complex problems in AI, logistics, national defense, and more. USC has also conducted research and benchmarking studies on D-Wave’s quantum hardware, producing significant results in areas such as quantum evolution and machine learning.
