NEC Australia and D-Wave Team for Australia Department of Defence Demonstration

The two companies will work together to demonstrate how hybrid quantum computing technology can solve a “last mile resupply” problem by calculating how autonomous vehicles can resupply army forces from a central base in an optimum way. NEC and D-Wave had signed an agreement in November 2019 to work jointly on sales, marketing and applications development and this is the first such customer engagement the two have had together outside of Japan. Additional details are available in the press release located on the D-Wave website here.
