Zapata Computing Holdings Inc., the Industrial Generative AI company, today announced that its foundational research on generator-enhanced optimization (GEO) has been published in the esteemed Nature Communications journal. The research, titled “Enhancing Combinatorial Optimization with Classical and Quantum Generative Models,” introduces Generator-Enhanced Optimization (GEO), a novel optimization method that leverages the power of generative modeling to suggest high-quality candidate solutions to complex optimization problems. 

D-Wave Quantum announced it will release its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2023 ended December 31, 2023 on Thursday, March 28 before market open. In conjunction with this announcement, D-Wave will host a conference call on Thursday, March 28, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), to discuss the Company’s financial results and business outlook.

In January, Azure Quantum and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers shared how HPC and AI were used to accelerate the scientific discovery of new energy storage solutions. Together, the teams discovered and synthesized a new electrolyte material candidate that showed potential for resource-efficient batteries. In less than nine months, the team built a battery proof of concept with the new electrolyte, which uses 70% less lithium than electrolytes in existing lithium-ion batteries. Although further optimization is required to improve conductivity, this accomplishment demonstrates the start of an R&D paradigm shift that will empower researchers to solve the most challenging chemistry and materials science problems quickly with AI and HPC, providing substantial environmental and economic benefits.

D-Wave Quantum today announced it has regained compliance with the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) continued listing standard for minimum share price under Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. On March 1, 2024, the NYSE provided D-Wave with a notification letter of recompliance based on a calculation of the Company’s average closing share price for the 30 trading days ended February 29, 2024, which reflected an average closing share price above the NYSE’s $1.00 minimum requirement.   D-Wave will continue to be traded on the NYSE, subject to its continued compliance with all applicable listing standards.

In a move to enhance quantum education and technology innovation, Infleqtion, the world’s leading quantum information company, today announced a new strategic alliance with QuSTEAM and partnership with Wolfram Research.
