D-Wave Government Sponsors a Quantum Academy at the Cyber Bytes Foundation to Accelerate U.S. Government's Adoption of Practical Quantum ComputingPALO ALTO, Calif. and STAFFORD, Va., April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- D-Wave Government Inc., a subsidiary providing D-Wave’s quantum computing technology, software, services, and expertise to the U.S. government, and Cyber Bytes Foundation (CBF), a non-profit producing education, innovation, and outreach programs responsive to national security challenges, today announced they will work together to host a quantum academy. Quantum computing’s importance to our national security remains a focus for the federal government. In the FY21 NDAA, the Service Secretaries were tasked with providing an annual list of technical problems and research challenges likely to be addressable by quantum computers and available for use within the next one to three years. The CBF Quantum Academy, sponsored by D-Wave Government Inc., is aimed at providing strategic guidance, training, and education to ensure the government understands how to best harness the powerful and complex technology. Together, the two organizations are hosting four academy events this year. These events will be available to attend in a virtual capacity in the short term, with the potential to attend in-person at the Quantico Cyber Hub in Stafford, VA later in the year. The following topics will be covered:
“Quantum computing represents the next technology revolution. However, there is a knowledge gap surrounding its current capabilities. We are excited to partner with D-Wave Government Inc., a leading quantum provider and subject matter expert to stand up this academy,” said Joel Scharlat, Director of Operations with the Cyber Bytes Foundation. “These classes have been carefully designed to provide government decision-makers at every level with the information necessary to employ quantum computing to solve today’s critical challenges. This is the next step in making the Quantico Cyber Hub the center of technology innovation for the government.” To learn more about the quantum academy, how to register, and how D-Wave Government and CBF are working together to expand government access to quantum computing education and technology, click here.
