D-Wave Quantum announces two new quantum computing collaborations

D-Wave Quantum announced two new collaborations with the Institute for Quantum Computing, or IQC, at the University of Waterloo. These collaborations establish key hardware research programs for quantum computing systems. The two multi-year projects between D-Wave and the researchers were funded through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, or NSERC, Quantum Alliance program, which is part of Canada’s National Quantum Strategy. These projects will focus on identifying improvements in device design and materials quality that support increasingly coherent superconducting quantum processors.
