D-Wave Gives Pandemic Researchers Free Quantum Computing
Canadian quantum computing company D-Wave is giving anyone working on COVID-19 responses free access to its Leap 2 quantum computing cloud service. D-Wave’s current partners – Volkswagen, DENSO, Jülich Supercomputing Centre, MDR, Menten AI, Sigma-i Tohoku University, Ludwig Maximilian University and OTI Lumionics – will provide engineering expertise.
Leap 2, launched on February 26th, is able to solve large scale problems, something that could be useful to groups working on pandemics. While D-Wave has focused on the hardware aspects of quantum computing, it also has two issued patents for optimization methods.
