BURNABY, B.C., PALO ALTO, Calif. and HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire — D-Wave Quantum Inc.

Quantum-hybrid applications can support a variety of mission objectives, including supply chain optimization, logistics management, weapon system optimization, and vehicle routing, to name a few.

“Quantum technology should be considered a key component of every compute infrastructure, including our nation’s defense operations,” said Major General John W. Holly (USA, Ret.), President, CEO and Chairman of Davidson. “By joining forces with D-Wave, we’re aiming to help our Government customers accelerate the adoption and application of today’s quantum-hybrid solutions as part of our focused mission to protect and defend the United States.”

“Davidson has a reputation for recognizing how emerging and advanced technologies can be applied to help customers navigate change, embrace risks and grow,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “We share that spirit of imagining the unimaginable and harnessing the power of technology in service to our customers. Through our collaboration, we’re extending Davidson’s impressive portfolio with annealing quantum computing solutions designed to tackle government customers’ increasingly complex computational problems, today.”

An industry leader in quantum computing solutions, D-Wave is a pioneer with more than a decade of experience building and delivering commercial quantum computers. Through the reseller agreement, Davidson has access to the Advantage^TM quantum system, D-Wave’s fifth generation commercially available quantum computer, which excels at optimization problems ubiquitous in real-world commercial and defense applications, such as manufacturing processes and waste reduction. Advantage has more than 5,000 qubits and 15-way qubit connectivity and is available via the Leap real-time quantum cloud service.

The report emphasizes how PFE solutions enable financial institutions to drive stronger customer engagement, retention, deposit growth and cross-selling opportunities by incorporating personalized financial wellness capabilities into their digital banking channels.
As one of Celent’s key recommendations, it advises banks to “incorporate PFE into a wider customer financial wellness program” to multiply value and engagement.
“We’re honored to be recognized as global leaders in Celent’s authoritative new report on the personal financial engagement landscape,” said Udi Ziv, CEO of Personetics. “This recognition validates our long-standing vision and commitment to helping FIs transform routine transactions into valuable personalized experiences that improve financial wellness and build lasting customer loyalty.”
