D-Wave Awarded NRC Funding to Advance Commercial Annealing Algorithms and Software - Quantum Computing Report

Quantum computing provider D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: QBTS) has been awarded up to CAD $300,000 ($299,025) in funding from the National Research Council of Canada’s (NRC) Applied Quantum Computing Challenge program. Conducted at D-Wave’s Quantum Centre of Engineering Excellence in Burnaby, British Columbia, the joint project aims to develop next-generation graph-embedding algorithms and open-source software tools tailored for commercial quantum annealing systems. The collaboration focuses on engineering advanced graph minor-embedding algorithms optimized for D-Wave’s Zephyr™ chip topology. Minor embedding is the foundational mathematical translation layer that maps complex, highly connected discrete optimization problems onto the physical qubit graph of an annealing [...]
