D-Wave Quantum Inc. and Davidson Technologies, Inc. have announced the installation of the second US-based D-Wave Advantage quantum computer at Davidson’s new global headquarters in Huntsville, AL. This system is poised to be the first in the U.S. certified for sensitive applications using annealing quantum computing. Initially, it will be accessible to D-Wave customers via the Leap™ real-time quantum cloud service. Once the secure facility is complete, the system may be exclusively used for sensitive applications, particularly in national security.

This deployment strengthens the partnership between D-Wave and Davidson, advancing quantum computing technology for government agencies. Davidson’s President, Dale Moore, and D-Wave’s CEO, Dr. Alan Baratz, emphasized the significance of this collaboration in addressing critical national defense challenges.
