Quantum Computing Inc. announced Dirac-3S, the next generation of its Dirac-3 quantum optimisation machine, marking a significant step toward commercial deployment of QCi's quantum optimisation technology. Dirac-3S advances the platform across three areas – Speed, Scale and Solutions – with faster performance, improved solution quality, increased computing capacity and a modular architecture designed to support customers as their requirements grow. SMU Associate Professor of Information Systems (Practice) Paul Griffin said that the first-generation Dirac-3 quantum optimisation machine validated its potential as a powerful tool for solving meaningful optimisation problems. He added that QCi's continued innovation with the Dirac-3S, including its expanded computational capabilities, enables us to pursue significantly larger and more complex optimisation challenges. Assoc Prof Griffin looks forward to exploring new research directions and accelerating the development of practical, high-impact applications.
