D-Wave 2000Q System to be Installed at Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab Run by Google, NASA, and Universities Space Research Association

PALO ALTO, CA — (Marketwired) — 03/13/17 — the leader in quantum computing systems and software, announced that Google, NASA, and Universities Space Research Association (USRA) have elected to upgrade their D-Wave 2X quantum computer to the new D-Wave 2000Q system, under the terms of their , to support QuAIL–s pioneering research on how quantum computing can be applied to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and difficult optimization problems.

“The new system will be the third generation of D-Wave technology installed at Ames,” said D-Wave CEO Vern Brownell. “We are pleased that Google, NASA, and USRA value the increased performance embodied in our latest generation of technology, the D-Wave 2000Q system, for their critical applications.”

Since 2013, when the first D-Wave system was installed at Ames, scientists at Google, NASA, and USRA have been using it for a broad range of complex problems such as web search, speech recognition, planning and scheduling, air-traffic management, , and support operations in mission control centers.

“We appreciate that the new processor offers more controls for each qubit, which enables us to experiment with new quantum-enhanced optimization and sampling algorithms,” said Hartmut Neven, Director of Engineering for Google and Head of the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab.

“Scientists at NASA Ames continue to explore the potential of quantum computing — and quantum annealing algorithms in particular — to aid in the many challenging computational problems involved in NASA missions,” said Eugene Tu, Center Director at NASA–s Ames Research Center. “NASA looks forward to advancements in this technology to achieve these goals.”

“Through USRA, the broader research community can get access to D-Wave–s state-of-the-art quantum computer, and collaborate with scientists at NASA, Google, and other universities,” said David Bell, Director, USRA–s Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science. “Since the installation of the first D-Wave system in 2013, researchers from around the world have been able to conduct cutting-edge research using technology unavailable elsewhere.”

The D-Wave 2000Q system will be installed at Ames later this year.

D-Wave is the leader in the development and delivery of quantum computing systems and software, and the world–s only commercial supplier of quantum computers. Our mission is to unlock the power of quantum computing for the world. We believe that quantum computing will enable solutions to the most challenging national defense, scientific, technical, and commercial problems. D-Wave–s systems are being used by some of the world–s most advanced organizations, including Lockheed Martin, Google, NASA Ames, USRA, USC, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. With headquarters near Vancouver, Canada, D-Wave–s U.S. operations are based in Palo Alto, CA and Hanover, MD. D-Wave has a blue-chip investor base including Goldman Sachs, Bezos Expeditions, DFJ, In-Q-Tel, BDC Capital, Growthworks, Harris & Harris Group, International Investment and Underwriting, and Kensington Partners Limited.
