Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi) announced the extension of its Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) on September 30, 2024. This collaboration focuses on QCi's Dirac-3 entropy quantum optimization machine, evaluating its capabilities for solving highly complex problems.
The Dirac-3 machine is designed to address high-dimensional discrete variables with multi-body interactions, which are among the world's most complex optimization problems, utilizing nonlinear quantum optics. This extension highlights the machine's recognition as a powerful quantum tool with leading-edge capabilities in solution quality and power consumption.
QCi's CEO, Dr. William McGann, stated that the Dirac-3 is competing with the world's most powerful computers in solving real-world problems such as energy grid management, offshore wind optimization, and signal processing applications. The company is also engaged in other CRADAs with the U.S. Department of Defense and is completing multiple projects for NASA.
