D-Wave

Today, D-Wave announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for $100 million of proposed funding under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce. In connection with executing final award documents, the U.S. government would obtain an equity stake in the company.   This funding would accelerate development and scaling of D-Wave’s annealing and gate-model quantum systems, including at its forthcoming R&D facility in Boca Raton, Florida as well as its R&D centers in New Haven, Connecticut and Burnaby, BC, Canada.   The LOI marks a significant endorsement by the U.S. government of D-Wave’s annealing and gate-model quantum computing technologies and their potential impact on the U.S. economy.   We are honored to be chosen to collaborate with the U.S. Department of Commerce to advance domestic manufacturing of quantum technologies.

D-Wave is excited to announce that it has joined QuantumCT’s Phase 2 Pilot Projects alongside Yale University, the University of Connecticut (UConn), and the RTX Technology Research Center, advancing the translation of quantum research into impactful applications for sectors critical to Connecticut’s economy, including defense and power grid optimization.  Learn more about QuantumCT and the quantum innovation ecosystem we’re building together below.  

One year ago today, D-Wave launched the Advantage2™ system, our sixth-generation annealing quantum computer.  The Advantage2 system is powerful and energy-efficient, designed to solve computationally complex problems in business and science that are beyond the reach of classical computers.  Built on an advanced processor architecture with more than 4,400 qubits and enhanced connectivity, the Advantage2 system reflects D-Wave’s continued investment in practical quantum computing for business, research, and the public sector.  In its first year, the Advantage2 system has already helped drive meaningful advances across industries and research in areas such as manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, materials science, and AI. We’re proud of the progress made in year one and excited about the momentum ahead. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g-wtExxT  #QuantumComputing #QuantumAI #Optimization  

Episode 4 of the Quantum Matters podcast is available now on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.     Watch or listen here: https://lnkd.in/gJm_icDR    Large factory warehouses manage thousands, sometimes millions, of items, each needing to be stored in the right place and moved at the right time. When item placement is not optimized, it can result in extra handling, delays, and repeated reinsertions.    In this episode, host Murray Thom speaks with Gabriel Fernandes of the Wernher von Braun Advanced Research Center about using quantum-powered optimization to rethink warehouse operations.    Gabriel shares his recent work applying quantum computing to item assignment in gravity flow racks. Using real operational data, his simulation showed about a 90% reduction in product reinsertions.    Listen now to hear more about the work and Gabriel’s journey into quantum computing. #QuantumComputing #manufacturing #logistics #technology Von Braun Labs

Up next on the Quantum Matters podcast: Rethinking Warehouse Operations with Quantum Computing.    In this episode, D-Wave's VP of Quantum Technology Evangelism, Murray Thom speaks with Gabriel Fernandes of Von Braun Labs about his work applying quantum computing to a core warehouse challenge: how to efficiently retrieve items from storage racks without triggering costly re-handling.    🎧 Tune in Tuesday, May 19, 2026     Subscribe to Quantum Matters through the link in our comments. 

Today, D-Wave announced Q1 FY26 results. Key financial updates include: 🔳 Record quarterly bookings of $33.4 million, up nearly 2,000% year over year 🔳 Quarter end cash position of $588 million, up 93% year over year “D-Wave’s first quarter performance highlights what sets this company apart: strong execution, expanding commercial adoption, and differentiated technology leadership across both annealing and gate model quantum computing,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “As the only quantum computing company pursuing both annealing and gate-model quantum computing systems, we believe that D-Wave is uniquely positioned to participate in the full addressable quantum computing market. Our acquisition of Quantum Circuits is expected to meaningfully accelerate our delivery of a scalable, error-corrected gate model system, while our record-setting $10 million quantum computing as a service agreement with a Fortune 100 company reinforced growing demand for our annealing systems. We believe that D-Wave’s combination of commercial proof, technical breadth, and a differentiated path to gate-model error correction and scaling will be increasingly prominent as this market matures.”   Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/gFt5zcSR
