D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, recently hosted two government officials at its Burnaby offices to highlight the company’s innovation in quantum computing. British Columbia premier David Eby and Jobs, Economic Development, and Innovation Minister Brenda Bailey were welcomed at the site, and the company also announced a new quantum-focused workforce training program during the pair’s visit. The training program, executed in collaboration with B.C.-based Quantum Algorithms Institute (“QAI”), will expedite the development of a quantum-ready workforce. The visit was also designed to help others gain a deeper understanding of how quantum technology can be effectively used in dealing with today’s societal and business challenges.

“British Columbia and D-Wave have long been at the forefront of global quantum innovation and developing the highly skilled workforce that drives it,” said D-Wave Quantum senior vice president Mark W. Johnson in the press release. “We are excited to host Premier Eby and Minister Bailey . . . to provide them a behind-the-scenes look at our technology, discuss real-world applications of quantum, and highlight our newest training program with the QAI to build a quantum-ready workforce.”
