Switzerland opens up their very First Quantum Computing Hub

D-wave Inc., a world leader in the development and delivery of quantum computing systems, software, and services has collaborated with uptwonBasel, a Swiss-based international competence centre for Industry 4.0, to bring D-Wave’s quantum annealing technology solutions to the all-new uptownBasel Infinity Center of Competence for Quantum & AI.

“We’ve built the uptownBasel Infinity Center of Competence for Quantum & AI in order to serve as an innovative, collaborative and advanced hub that will facilitate technology-based solutions for industry,

Through our agreement with D-Wave, we’re delivering access to proven annealing quantum computing systems, products and services to give our customers the opportunity to tackle real-world optimization problems and create quantum-hybrid applications that will drive impact, today.”

Damir Bogdan, CEO of uptownBasel Infinity

D-Wave’s “QuantumBasel”, will act as the quantum optimization technology supplier for uptownBasel Infinity, offering the center’s users and customers access to its AdvantageTM annealing quantum computer via the LeapTM real-time quantum cloud service.

The uptownBasel Infinity Center of Competence for Quantum & AI will include the most advanced quantum computing technology from D-Wave and IBM to help companies solve extremely challenging business issues that traditional computing can’t handle.  The centre is a significant step towards making super-advanced quantum computing more accessible to commercial industries and bringing new innovations.

“The uptownBasel Infinity Center of Competence for Quantum & AI will engage organizations in solving problems that ultimately could change business and society, and our missions are incredibly aligned,
At D-Wave, we harness the immense power of quantum computing technology to help companies find answers to their most complex and computationally intensive challenges. By joining forces with uptownBasel and serving as its annealing quantum computing technology provider, we look forward to helping fuel global quantum innovation, enablement and education.”

Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave.

D-fifth Wave’s generation commercially available quantum computer with more than 5,000 qubits and 15-way qubit connectivity thrives at optimization problems ubiquitous in real-world commercial applications, such as production processes and waste reduction.

Additionally, the centre’s customers can engage with D-Wave’s professional services professionals to aid the analysis, formulation, and creation of production-ready quantum computing applications.
