PALO ALTO, October 9, 2024 –- D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, today announced its upcoming participation in the 2024 INFORMS Annual Meeting, Oct. 20-23, in Seattle, Washington.

Aligned with the event’s theme, "Smarter Decisions for a Better World," D-Wave will be a featured speaker in the event’s Technology Showcase, host an exhibitor workshop on the fundamentals of quantum computing, meet with job seekers onsite about roles in quantum optimization, and conduct live booth demonstrations to highlight how quantum technology can help organizations overcome the limitations of classical computing solutions when faced with complex optimization problems.

D-Wave’s participation at the INFORMS annual meeting includes:

Murray Thom, D-Wave’s vice president of quantum technology evangelism, will share how D-Wave's quantum technologies can successfully tackle complex optimization problems such as scheduling large workforces, managing production lines, and routing fleets of vehicles. His presentation will occur during the Technology Showcase on Monday, Oct. 21, from 1:25 to 2:00 p.m. in Room 345 of the Summit building.

Catherine Potts, D-Wave staff technical advisor, will lead an exhibitor workshop covering the fundamentals of quantum computing and how businesses can quickly get started. She will demonstrate real-world applications through use case examples and live applications. Her workshop occurs on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Room 448 of the Summit building.

Company recruiters will be available during the event’s career fair to highlight what it’s like to work in the field of quantum optimization and D-Wave specifically, as well as meet with potential candidates for open roles, including key positions within its Customer Team and Research & Development organization.

D-Wave's experts will be available at Booth 206 to engage with attendees about how quantum-powered solutions can drive efficiencies within their organizations. Participants will have the opportunity to explore D-Wave’s Leap™ real-time quantum cloud service — which includes a portfolio of hybrid solvers able to solve problems involving millions of variables and constraints.

Lastly, D-Wave is offering attendees a consultation to determine whether quantum optimization could improve answer quality and accelerate time-to-solution, allowing them to decide if a complimentary proof-of-technology project is worth considering. One organization will be selected for this complimentary proof-of-technology project.
