The collaboration will focus on applying D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing technology to complex optimization challenges, with the goal of moving applications from proof of concept into production.

D-Wave CEO Dr. Alan Baratz and LG CNS President and CEO Hyun Shin-Gyoon announced the MOU onstage at D-Wave’s Qubits Asia conference in Seoul today. The companies intend to combine D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing technologies with LG CNS’s industry expertise, mathematical optimization capabilities and systems integration experience to develop applications for customers in manufacturing, telecommunications, finance and retail. The companies also intend to pursue joint go-to-market opportunities.

LG CNS brings extensive mathematical optimization expertise across industries, including manufacturing and the public sector, with end-to-end capabilities spanning problem definition, mathematical modeling, algorithm validation and real-world implementation. LG CNS has also been conducting research on applying mathematical optimization and quantum computing to real-world industrial challenges, including image reconstruction and inspection and the detection of underground anomalies.
