D-Wave Quantum Inc. and Davidson Technologies, Inc. announced that the companies have entered into a multi-year reseller agreement. The new alliance, which will be highlighted at D-Wave's upcoming annual user conference, Qubits, enables Davidson to resell D-Wave's products and services, including the Leap™ quantum cloud service. In addition, the companies are working together on an initiative to support classified quantum-hybrid applications, an important requirement for national defense programs. The collaboration comes at a time when the United States Government is increasingly emphasizing the importance of quantum information science (QIS) 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 can support a variety of mission objectives, including supply chain optimization, logistics management, weapon system optimization, and vehicle routing, to name a few. An industry leader in quantum computing solutions, D-Wave is a pioneer with more than a decade of experience building and delivering commercial quantum computers.

Through the reseller agreement, Davidson has access to the AdvantageTM quantum system, D-Wave's fifth generation commercially available quantum computer, which excels at optimization problems ubiquitous in real-world commercial and defense applications, such as manufacturing processes and waste reduction. Advantage has more than 5,000 qubits and 15-way qubit connectivity and is available via the Leap real-time quantum cloud service.
