D-Wave Quantum Inc., a pioneering force in quantum computing, has announced the launch of Qubits UAE 2024, the first-ever quantum computing event to be held in Dubai. The event, taking place on September 20, is co-hosted by D-Wave and Staque, an AI, blockchain, and quantum computing consultancy, with support from SquareOne, a leading business transformation technology provider in the Middle East and Africa.
Qubits UAE 2024 will feature exclusive content from D-Wave’s prominent Qubits user conference held earlier this year. The event is designed to highlight “success powered by quantum today” through a series of real-world use cases, advancements in quantum-enhanced AI, and demonstrations showcasing the superior performance of annealing quantum computing compared to traditional methods.
Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re witnessing a remarkable moment in computing, as annealing quantum technology transitions from exploration to enterprise use, capable of driving measurable impact for customers today.
We’re honored to host Qubits UAE 2024 with Staque and SquareOne to show UAE-based organizations the transformative potential annealing quantum computing can have on both commercial and research endeavors in the country.”
Dr. Muhammad Khan, CEO of Staque, added, “Staque’s high-performance business solutions are unique in how they are synthesized with AI, quantum computing, and advanced optimization. We are fortunate to have D-Wave’s mature quantum computing technology that enables commercial applications today. UAE, and GCC, is a strategic market for us due to our roots and partnerships in the region, particularly with SquareOne.”
Vinod Philip, CEO of SquareOne, noted, “We have been helping organizations exponentiate their potential by partnering up with tech leaders, providing our clients a digital vision and implementation complete with our expertise and domain knowledge. Bringing solutions co-developed with Staque and powered by D-Wave to our customer base in the UAE and GCC could save them millions and allow us to maintain our innovation leadership status.”
