D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software and services, and the first commercial provider of quantum computers, recently announced a partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, designed to help accelerate adoption of quantum computing in the public sector (https://ibn.fm/YOoy9).
D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing systems, software and services are benefitting government agencies, systems integrators, national labs and organizations that serve the public sector. By leveraging D-WaveTM technologies, organizations can create quantum and hybrid quantum applications that tackle various public sector priorities, including national defense, intelligence, emergency response and management, energy reliability and resilience, and infrastructure optimization, while also facilitating critical research in areas such as materials science.
“As agencies face increasingly complex optimization challenges, we believe it is critical that they leverage advanced quantum solutions to tackle these problems,” said Troy Meraw, Program Manager for Quantum Technologies at Carahsoft. “By partnering with D-Wave and working with our reseller partners, we can provide government agencies with access to real-time quantum solutions that could help address national priorities, from defense to infrastructure optimization.”
As a result of the partnership, Carahsoft will serve as Master Government Aggregator® for D-Wave, making its quantum computing technologies available to the public sector through reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (“SEWP”) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (“ITES-SW2”), The Interlocal Purchasing System (“TIPS”), OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract and The Quilt contracts.
Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will co-market D-Wave’s comprehensive solutions to the public sector through Carahsoft’s reseller network. These solutions include real-time access to the D-Wave Advantage quantum computing systems through the Leap quantum cloud service. In addition, D-Wave will provide workforce training programs to upskill public sector employees and specialized support from D-Wave’s professional services team to develop applications for specific use cases.
Lorenzo Martinelli, chief revenue officer at D-Wave, said he believes that the partnership is key to accelerating government adoption of quantum, as it opens up access to annealing quantum computing now available through Carahsoft’s contract vehicles. “We anticipate this partnership will increase visibility, accessibility and adoption of our solutions with U.S. government and public sector entities, enabling them to harness powerful, commercial-grade quantum technology today to serve our country’s interests,” Martinelli said.
