Lockheed Martin Corporation (http://www.lockheedmartin.com/) has agreed to purchase the first D-Wave One quantum computing system from D-Wave Systems Inc. (http://www.dwavesys.com/), according to D-Wave spokesperson Ann Gibbon.
Lockheed Martin plans to use this “quantum annealing processor (http://www.kurzweilai.net/d-wave-reveals)” for some of Lockheed Martin’s “most challenging computation problems,” according to a D-Wave statement (http://www.dwavesys.com/en/pressreleases.html#lm_2011).
D-Wave computing systems address combinatorial optimization problems.that are “hard for traditional methods to solve in a cost-effective amount of time.”
These include software verification and validation, financial risk analysis, affinity mapping and sentiment analysis, object recognition in images, medical imaging classification, compressed sensing, and bioinformatics.
