# D-Wave Awarded National Research Council of Canada Funding to Advance Commercial Annealing Quantum Computing

**[The Quantum Insider](https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

D-Wave Quantum Inc. has been awarded up to CAD $300,000 from Canada's National Research Council through the Applied Quantum Computing Challenge program to develop new software for its Advantage2 annealing quantum computers. The project, based at D-Wave's Burnaby, British Columbia engineering center, will create new graph minor-embedding algorithms for the Zephyr topology and integrate them into D-Wave's open-source Ocean SDK. The goal is to let customers solve larger, more complex optimization problems in logistics, manufacturing, scheduling, resource allocation, machine learning, and scientific simulation.
