Staque, a company specializing in AI, blockchain, and quantum computing, has announced its partnership with D-Wave Quantum Inc, the world's first commercial provider of quantum computers, and introduced Que AI autopilots powered by quantum computing. This strategic collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of annealing quantum computing solutions across the Middle East, promoting innovation in sectors such as healthcare, logistics, financial services, and technology.
The partnership was unveiled at Qubits UAE, an exclusive, invitation-only event that brought together leading experts in quantum computing and technology leaders. Held under the D-Wave Qubits banner, the event facilitated discussions on the expanding potential of quantum technology in addressing complex real-world challenges. "By partnering with D-Wave, we're providing our clients with advanced computational processing power to leverage cutting-edge technology for growth," stated Dr. Muhammad Khan, Founder and CEO of Staque. Dr. Khan highlighted how this collaboration aligns with Staque's mission to push the boundaries of innovation and deliver impactful solutions that drive customer success.
"We believe organizations must adopt advanced technologies like quantum computing and AI to thrive in today's competitive landscape," said Lorenzo Martinelli, Chief Revenue Officer at D-Wave. "Staque recognizes the transformative impact that annealing quantum computing can have on its customers, and our shared commitment to redefining technological possibilities makes this partnership particularly exciting." This alliance comes at a pivotal moment when Middle Eastern countries are seeking to diversify their economies. As Dr. Khan noted, "The Middle East's ambition to lead in tech innovation makes our partnership with D-Wave a significant milestone. Together, we will assist enterprises in harnessing quantum computing to address critical challenges in optimization, AI, and more."
Quantum computing offers unparalleled capabilities for solving high-complexity problems, such as supply chain management, utility grid optimization, and portfolio optimization—areas of focus for both Staque and D-Wave. Utilizing D-Wave's Leap quantum cloud service, this collaboration aims to develop and deploy hybrid quantum applications, offering regional businesses access to next-generation computing solutions. One such solution is Que—a network of AI autopilots designed for tasks like engineering, customer experience, and medical diagnosis. Staque plans to enhance the machine learning model underlying Que using annealing quantum computing. The initial set of Ques (beta) were deployed today for healthcare and customer service applications. Unlike other AI agents, Ques can be continuously trained, hired, leased, and monetized through Que Studio and Que Network.
The collaboration also aligns with broader regional objectives. Countries like the UAE are focused on expanding their tech and innovation sectors as part of a long-term strategy to reduce reliance on oil-based revenues. According to the International Monetary Fund, economic diversification efforts are crucial for driving the Middle East's growth agenda, and partnerships like this one are essential in achieving those goals. Staque's collaboration with D-Wave showcases the practical business applications of quantum computing. From financial institutions to logistics giants, many industries stand to benefit from the extraordinary computational power quantum technology offers. In addition to the new partnership with D-Wave, Staque is actively building a global network of partners, aiming to integrate AI, blockchain, and quantum computing solutions into daily business operations. This collaboration with D-Wave symbolizes a broader vision of fostering scalable and impactful technological innovation for businesses across various sectors.
The Qubits UAE event also featured presentations on successful use cases of D-Wave's quantum computing technology, including breakthroughs in quantum-fueled AI, business operations optimization, and hybrid quantum computing. These demonstrations underscored the real-world impact of these solutions in industries ranging from cybersecurity to material sciences. Moving forward, the companies will concentrate on scaling their offerings to meet the increasing demand for quantum applications in the Middle East and globally. With D-Wave's expertise in quantum hardware and software and Staque's extensive knowledge in industry optimization and high-performance computing, the partnership is set to drive substantial advancements in quantum adoption across the region.
