D-Wave (NYSE: QBTS) Partners with VINCI Energies, QuantumBasel in HVAC Design Enhancement

December 20, 2023 12:54:58

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software and services, is involved in an innovative initiative using quantum computing to improve efficiency in the design of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (“HVAC”) systems for complex buildings. D-Wave Wantum is joined by VINCI Energies and uptownBasel/QuantumBasel in the partnership, which has already successfully transformed the complex HVAC network-generation problem into a constrained quadratic model (“CQM”), potentially efficiently solvable by D-Wave’s quantum-classical hybrid solvers. According to the announcement, this first phase of the project marks “a clear step away from traditional computational methods to a more innovative, quantum-classical hybrid approach.” The company noted that the new approach results in solutions with shorter duct lengths and fewer construction elements, such as elbows. A key factor in the success of the partnership thus far is the interdisciplinary team, which has members from Switzerland, France, Germany, Canada and the United States. “Team members brought specialized knowledge and experience, resulting in rapid progress and efficient problem-solving,” said the company in the press release. “This global team operated seamlessly through collaboration tools, demonstrating the power of virtual teamwork in achieving cutting-edge innovation. As the project moves forward, the focus will shift to translating these technical improvements into tangible business impact, such as reduced computation time and less manual engineering effort. This quantum computing project stands as a testament to the power of collaborative innovation in driving sustainable and efficient solutions in building design. It marks another important step towards a more sustainable future, in which human expertise and technology join forces to create environmentally friendly and cost-effective building solutions.”
