Quantum Computing Inc. extends collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory

News

The agreement focuses on QCi’s new Dirac-3 machine, which the integrated photonics company says uses nonlinear quantum optics to solve some of the world’s most complex optimisation problems

Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi), an integrated photonics and quantum optics company has announced the extension of its Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).

According to QCi, this strategic collaborative agreement focuses on the company’s new entropy quantum optimisation machine, Dirac-3, and its capabilities to quickly and efficiently solve highly complex problems associated with quantum simulations, social networks, protein structure prediction, and telecommunications. QCi says its Dirac-3 quantum optimisation machine is the first of its kind to solve beyond QUBO problems, addressing high-dimensional discrete variables with multi-body interactions, which sit in the upper tier of the world's most complex optimisation problems, using nonlinear quantum optics.

“We are pleased to extend this strategic collaboration with LANL,” said William McGann, CEO of QCi. “Dirac-3 is a cornerstone product in our high-performance computing portfolio of products and is quickly becoming recognised as a new and powerful quantum machine with leading edge capabilities in solution quality and power consumption. Our new machine is now competing with the world's most powerful computers in solving very complex, real-world problems in energy grid management, offshore wind optimisation, and signal processing applications.”
