(Benzinga) Strangeworks, a global leader in quantum computing software, today announced its latest collaboration with Quantum Algorithms Institute, a government-funded not-for-profit organization that aims to bring together government, industry, and academia to realize applied quantum computing in British Columbia (BC) and Canada. QAI follows in the footsteps of several of its founding members, including 1QBit, Amazon, D-Wave, IBM, and Microsoft, in joining the Strangeworks Quantum Syndicate™.
QAI supports three main pillars; education and training for students and professionals, quantum computing research, and commercialization of quantum computing. In 2022, the Institute plans to introduce working groups, including industry, academia, and key players in the startup ecosystem, in order to identify relevant use cases that can benefit from quantum computing technologies to targeted industry verticals. These use cases can then be used as starting points for QAI industry partners’ quantum journey, which leverages quantum internships, and fulfills QAI’s mission to build the next generation quantum-enabled workforce in BC. De-risking the exploration of quantum relevant use cases is key to enabling the BC quantum ecosystem, as well as democratizing quantum computing technologies. In addition to this collaborative work with industry partners, QAI plans to enhance its educational offerings, leveraging the Strangeworks platform to further fulfill its diverse and inclusive approach to core technologies.
“At the Quantum Algorithm Institute, we believe that broad and inclusive access to quantum computing technologies is needed to see success in both training a quantum-ready workforce and development of commercial quantum solutions. We are delighted to adopt Strangeworks’ flexible quantum platform to meet our educational and research goals. We look forward to our partnership with Strangeworks to help drive growth of the quantum technology sector within British Columbia and across all of Canada,” said Brad Lackey, Board of Directors Chairperson.
As the world’s leading Quantum Service Provider™, Strangeworks is committed to enabling organizations such as QAI to deliver the tools needed to educate and perform research across the quantum computing landscape. To facilitate QAI’s 2022 initiatives, Strangeworks will provide the latest hardware and software capabilities to QAI’s network of affiliated organizations via the Strangeworks quantum-enabled platform as a service (PaaS) which enables QAI to quickly expand its offerings and rapidly scale their services, while nurturing research collaboration across its affiliated members.
