D-Wave Quantum Inc, a premier quantum computing company, has teamed up with Staque, a leading consulting and development practice in AI, blockchain and quantum computing.
The partnership aims to boost the commercial adoption of annealing quantum computing across the Middle East. Wave and Staque will collaboratively focus on empowering customers to develop and deploy quantum and hybrid quantum applications, which are designed to address enterprise optimization and AI problems.
D-Wave’s quantum computers and hybrid solvers, accessible via D-Wave’s Leap™ quantum cloud service, will enable companies to explore quantum applications that address pressing challenges faced by today’s organizations, including supply chain management, utility grid optimization, portfolio optimization and port optimization.
This collaboration was revealed during Qubits UAE in Dubai, a half-day version of D-Wave’s annual Qubits user conference, which is showcasing “success powered by quantum” through business optimization use cases, progress in quantum-fueled AI technology, and demonstrations of annealing quantum computing performance over classical computing.
The partnership is formed at a perfect time, as countries in the Middle East are centered on diversifying economic sources away from oil production and exports, expanding into areas such as logistics, financial services and advanced technology, according to the International Monetary Fund.
