“Through D-Wave’s beta program, we look forward to exploring how its error-aware simulator and forthcoming dual-rail gate-model systems could support applications such as portfolio optimization, fraud detection and derivatives valuation.”

Vish Ramakrishnan, CEO of FirstQFM

“Error detection creates an opportunity to recover useful information that might otherwise be discarded.”

Vish Ramakrishnan, CEO of FirstQFM

“Through D-Wave’s beta program, we plan to apply our proprietary foundation models for quantum computing to explore how detected errors, mid-circuit error signals and real-time control can be used to improve the quality and reliability of quantum computations, while preparing these techniques for future testing on dual-rail gate-model hardware.”

Robert Loredo, Executive director of the FAU Center for Quantum Technologies

“By beta testing quantum simulators early, D-Wave and FAU have given our students and faculty real, hands-on experience with the tools that will shape the industry.”
