Summarize this article with:
PRESS RELEASE — D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), the only dual-platform quantum computing company, providing annealing and gate-model systems, software, and services, today announced key product and technology milestones that underscore accelerating customer adoption and progress. At Qubits 2026, D-Wave’s annual user conference today, the Company will introduce new hybrid solver capabilities that enable customers to incorporate machine learning models directly into quantum optimization workflows, as well as new tools that give quantum scientists deeper visibility into quantum dynamics using annealing quantum computers. In addition, the Company will share details on its accelerated gate-model development roadmap, including progress enabled by the recent acquisition of Quantum Circuits, Inc., a breakthrough demonstration of scalable on-chip cryogenic control of qubits, and plans to bring an initial gate-model system to market in 2026. These development efforts and updates focus on scalability, enabling customers to tackle increasingly large and complex problems with greater efficiency and performance. “These advances extend D-Wave’s leadership through our dual-platform strategy for quantum computing, combining the proven impact of annealing quantum computing systems and software today with accelerating innovation in hybrid and gate-model technologies,” said Dr. Trevor Lanting, chief development officer at D-Wave. “By helping customers solve complex problems now while advancing industry-leading gate-model control architectures and error-correction capabilities, we are building a comprehensive quantum portfolio designed to meet the full range of real-world computational demand.” Adoption of D-Wave™ annealing quantum computers and hybrid solvers continues to grow, reflecting an increased demand for the Company’s technology to solve computationally complex problems often faster and better than classical-only approaches. Customer usage of D-Wave’s award-winning Advantage2™ annealing quantum computers increased by 314% over the last year, while usage of the Company’s StrideTM hybrid solver, formerly known as the nonlinear program solver, increased by 114% in the last six months. D-Wave has introduced several annealing quantum computing product enhancements recently, including: In addition to advancements with its annealing quantum computing technology, D-Wave is accelerating development of its gate-model quantum computing platform. Through the recent acquisition of Quantum Circuits, Inc. as well as its own breakthrough development work, D-Wave is uniquely positioned as the only company with all three core technologies required to deliver scaled, error-corrected superconducting gate-model systems: Together, these capabilities support D-Wave’s plans to bring an initial gate-model quantum computing system to market in 2026, reinforcing the company’s dual-platform strategy and long-term vision for practical, scalable quantum computing.
