=== How did the idea of D-Wave come about? === D-Wave was founded by Haig Farris (former chair of board), Geordie Rose (former CEO/CTO), Bob Wiens (former CFO), and Alexandre Zagoskin (former VP Research and Chief Scientist). Farris taught a business course at the [https://www.ubc.ca/ University of British Columbia] (UBC), where Rose obtained his PhD, and Zagoskin was a postdoctoral fellow. D-Wave at the time operated as an offshoot from UBC, while maintaining ties with the Department of Physics and Astronomy. It '''funded academic research in quantum computing''', thus <u>building a collaborative network of research scientists</u>. The company collaborated with several universities and institutions, including UBC, IPHT Jena, Université de Sherbrooke, University of Toronto, University of Twente, Chalmers University of Technology, University of Erlangen, and Jet Propulsion Laboratory. These partnerships were listed on D-Wave's website until 2005. In June 2014, D-Wave '''announced a new quantum applications ecosystem''' with computational finance firm [https://1qbit.com/ 1QB Information Technologies] and cancer research group DNA-SEQ to focus on solving real-world problems with quantum hardware. The company name refers to their first qubit design, with [[:en:Unconventional_superconductor|d-wave superconductors]].
