D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, today announced that Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave, is calling upon business leaders to immediately prioritize the exploration of quantum computing as they continue to accelerate their AI adoption.
In his most recent Forbes Technology Council guest column, Dr. Baratz writes that as AI continues to advance at an astonishing rate, it also consumes vast amounts of energy. Quantum computing could help develop more powerful and sustainable AI models, offering a more scalable and energy-efficient solution to drive supercharged optimization. Dr. Baratz offers steps leaders can take now to bring quantum AI into their enterprise, starting with identifying strategic areas where quantum AI could make an immediate impact, such as driving more precise predictions of supply and demand to give organizations a competitive edge.
“With sustainability now an added business imperative, the combination of quantum with AI could help organizations forecast demand more precisely and align production, minimizing the creation of excess goods and reducing waste through the supply chain,” he writes. “By using quantum to optimize routing, production, and inventory management based on AI-powered forecasting, quantum and AI together could help organizations reduce the need for transportation and storage, reducing costs and carbon emissions.”
