D Wave Quantum Stock Price, News & Analysis

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in quantum computing, demonstrating the first-ever quantum computational supremacy on a practical problem. Their Advantage2 annealing quantum computer successfully performed complex magnetic materials simulations in minutes that would take nearly one million years and consume more than the world's annual electricity using classical supercomputers.

The achievement, published in Science journal's 'Beyond-Classical Computation in Quantum Simulation,' showcases D-Wave's quantum computer outperforming one of the world's most powerful classical supercomputers in solving magnetic materials simulation problems. The research involved collaboration with scientists worldwide and utilized both D-Wave's Advantage2 prototype and the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Since February 2024, D-Wave customers have run nearly 9.5 million problems on the Advantage2 prototype, which is available through D-Wave's Leap cloud service. The company has now developed an Advantage2 processor four times larger than the prototype used in this research, extending simulations from hundreds to thousands of qubits.

SkyWater Technology (NASDAQ: SKYT) and D-Wave Quantum have achieved a significant breakthrough in quantum computing. D-Wave's Advantage2™ annealing quantum computer prototype, fabricated by SkyWater, has demonstrated quantum supremacy in quantum simulation, as published in the AAAS journal Science.

The research confirms that D-Wave's quantum computer outperformed one of the world's most powerful classical supercomputers in solving complex magnetic materials simulation problems. This achievement is particularly significant for materials discovery, as magnetic materials are important in medical imaging, electronics, superconductors, and various other applications.

The partnership between SkyWater and D-Wave, spanning a decade at the Minnesota fab, combines SkyWater's specialized process integration and fabrication expertise with D-Wave's superconducting materials knowledge. This collaboration, supported by SkyWater's DOD Trusted Foundry status, strengthens U.S. leadership in advanced computing and domestic semiconductor manufacturing.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) and Staque have developed a commercial hybrid-quantum application for optimizing autonomous agriculture vehicle movements. The solution, built in collaboration with Verge Ag and supported by Canada's DIGITAL Global Innovation Cluster, aims to streamline agricultural operations for thousands of fields in real-time.

The application represents one of the first customer-facing, real-world quantum computing products for agricultural optimization. Traditional computation methods typically require days or weeks for solutions, while this hybrid-quantum application has demonstrated significant speed improvements over classical approaches. The technology is being showcased at World Fira 2025 and Qubits 2025.

The initiative addresses the complex challenge of robot routing in agricultural environments, which cannot be efficiently solved using classical computers. The solution aims to increase crop production, drive efficiencies, and lower farming costs through quantum-optimized decision-making.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) announced a new offering enabling research centers, academic institutions, and governments to purchase on-premises D-Wave Advantage quantum computing systems. The systems feature over 5,000 qubits and 15-way connectivity, making them the world's largest annealing quantum computers.

Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) becomes the first high-performance computing center to purchase a D-Wave Advantage system. The offering includes installation, maintenance, and assistance in setting up local hybrid quantum solvers. D-Wave also introduced the 'Quantum Uplift' program, providing financial incentives to organizations dissatisfied with competitor quantum systems.

The initiative aims to drive advanced research in artificial intelligence and quantum simulation, addressing challenges like AI's increasing power consumption. According to Hyperion Research, nearly 20% of respondents prioritize on-site quantum computing infrastructure for control, security, and immediacy.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) announced that Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) has purchased a D-Wave Advantage annealing quantum computing system, becoming the first high-performance computing center globally to own this technology. The system, featuring over 5,000 qubits and 15-way connectivity, will be integrated with JUPITER, Europe's first exascale supercomputer, marking the world's first coupling of an annealing quantum computer with an exascale system.

The system will be upgraded to D-Wave's next-generation Advantage2 quantum processor unit when available, promising doubled coherence, increased connectivity, and a 40% boost to energy scale. Notable research achievements using D-Wave's system at JUNIQ include studies on protein folding with potential implications for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, advancements in understanding electron interactions in materials, and insights into quantum physical processes during universe formation.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) has announced its Qubits 2025 quantum computing user conference, scheduled for March 31 and April 1 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The event, themed 'Quantum Realized', will showcase how D-Wave's quantum technology is delivering practical value today.

The conference will feature presentations from D-Wave executives, customers, and industry leaders, including IDC and notable organizations like Davidson Technologies, Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Japan Tobacco, and NTT DOCOMO. Topics will cover quantum optimization, hardware system development, scientific advancements, and the intersection of quantum and AI.
