D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) announced the formation of a new business unit dedicated to driving the adoption of its quantum computing products and services within the U.S. government. The unit will be led by Jack Sears Jr., a seasoned government and public sector business executive with over 25 years of experience in developing and executing organizational growth strategies for companies serving the federal government in the defense and aerospace industries.
Sears will join D-Wave's executive team as vice president of U.S. government solutions. In this role, he will oversee government-related go-to-market efforts, application development, and the unique product development and customer support necessary for secure systems that meet federal requirements. This move underscores D-Wave's commitment to expanding its footprint in the public sector, where quantum computing holds promise for addressing complex challenges in national security, logistics, and scientific research.
D-Wave is a leader in the development and delivery of quantum computing systems, software, and services. It is the world's first commercial supplier of quantum computers and the only company building both annealing and gate-model quantum computers. Its quantum computers feature QPUs with sub-second response times and can be deployed on-premises or accessed through its quantum cloud service, which offers 99.9% availability and uptime. More than 100 organizations trust D-Wave with their toughest computational challenges, with over 200 million problems submitted to its quantum systems to date.
The establishment of this business unit comes as the U.S. government increasingly explores quantum computing for applications such as optimization, artificial intelligence, and research. D-Wave's initiative aims to provide federal agencies with the tools needed to leverage quantum technology for mission-critical tasks. The company's quantum cloud service, accessible via www.dwavequantum.com, offers a scalable path for government adoption.
