HUNTSVILLE — D-Wave Quantum and Huntsville’s Davidson Technologies have entered into a multi-year reseller agreement, the companies announced. The new alliance will be highlighted at Qubits, D-Wave’s annual user conference Jan. 17-18 in Miami Beach.
The alliance enables Davidson to resell D-Wave’s products and services, including the Leap quantum cloud service. The companies are also working on an initiative to support classified quantum-hybrid applications, an important requirement for national defense programs.
“Quantum technology should be considered a key component of every compute infrastructure, including our nation’s defense operations,” said John W. Holly, president/CEO and chairman of Davidson. “By joining forces with D-Wave, we’re aiming to help our government customers accelerate the adoption and application of today’s quantum-hybrid solutions as part of our focused mission to protect and defend the United States.”
Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave, said Davidson has a reputation for recognizing how emerging and advanced technologies can be applied to help customers navigate change, embrace risks and grow.
“We share that spirit of imagining the unimaginable and harnessing the power of technology in service to our customers,” he said. “Through our collaboration, we’re extending Davidson’s impressive portfolio with annealing quantum computing solutions designed to tackle government customers’ increasingly complex computational problems, today.”
D-Wave is a Canadian quantum computing systems and software provider, and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers.
Davidson is a technology services company that provides innovative engineering management systems to the Department of Defense, aerospace and commercial customers.
The collaboration comes at a time when the U.S. government is increasingly emphasizing the importance of quantum information science technology in fostering American innovation and furthering military initiatives.
By collaborating on joint go-to-market efforts, Davidson plans to expand its advanced, intelligent technology solutions with D-Wave’s cloud-based quantum computing and quantum hybrid solver services in support of US defense and aerospace efforts.
Quantum-hybrid applications support mission objectives, including supply chain optimization, logistics management, weapon system optimization, and vehicle routing.
