PALO ALTO, Calif. - August 6, 2026 - D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), the only dual-platform quantum computing company, providing both annealing and gate-model systems, software, and services, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
“This quarter reinforced the strength and breadth of D-Wave’s leadership,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “We expanded commercial momentum through stronger bookings and engagements with major global organizations, while achieving important milestones across our dual-platform technology roadmap. The peer-reviewed validation of our dual-rail architecture and recognition by IDC as an industry Leader reflects growing confidence in both our ability to deliver customer value and our approach to building scalable quantum computer systems. D-Wave is translating technical leadership into commercial progress, and we believe that our differentiated technology, expanding customer base and disciplined execution position us to lead as the quantum computing market accelerates.”
Recent Business and Technical Highlights
- Bookings for the first six months of 2026 were $35.5 million, a 1,120% year over year increase from bookings of $2.9 million for the first six months of 2025.
- Named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Quantum Computing 2026 Vendor Assessment. IDC evaluated quantum computing companies based on their current capabilities and future strategies. D-Wave was one of only two companies named to the “Leaders” category.
- Provided additional details on the Company’s annealing quantum computing roadmap, which involves packaging and superconducting interconnect technologies to scale the annealing architectures to multi-chip fabrics. We expect this multi-chip approach will allow the next generation Advantage3TM system to ultimately reach 100,000 qubits by 2031, with an intermediate step of a 20,000 qubit system available in 2029. The Company also announced the design of a new prototype for scalable I/O that would allow quantum processing unit (QPU) scaling with an expectation of reaching a 100,000 qubit system with no more than a 20% increase over the number of I/O lines required for the current 4,500 qubit Advantage2TM system.
- Announced a new gate-model quantum computing roadmap, designed to accelerate the development of commercial, fault-tolerant gate model quantum computing, which includes the following key milestones:
- 2026: Delivery of a 17-physical-qubit system that supports logical error rates 2 times lower than physical error rates
- 2027: Completion of a 49-physical-qubit system that can deliver an expected 20-fold error reduction factor over the physical error rate
- 2028: Completion of a 181-physical-qubit system that can deliver an expected 2,000-fold error reduction factor over the physical error rate; representing the scalable blueprint for fault-tolerant architectures
- 2030: Completion of a 10-logical qubit system that can support the first fault tolerant algorithms
- 2032: Completion of a 100-logical-qubit system capable of successfully performing more than one million operations that can support initial quantum chemistry and quantum AI applications
- Announced a major research breakthrough, as published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature, that advances a faster, more practical path to fault tolerant gate-model quantum computing. The research demonstrates a fast, high-fidelity two-qubit entangling gate that preserves the inherent error-correction advantages of D-Wave’s superconducting dual-rail qubit architecture, addressing one of the industry’s most consequential challenges by reducing the immense hardware overhead typically required to detect and correct quantum errors as systems scale.
- Announced a forthcoming gate-model quantum computing simulator, which is expected to be the first of its kind designed for error-aware programming. Built around D-Wave’s dual-rail technology, we expect the simulator to give developers visibility into errors, so they can design applications and workflows that respond to errors as they occur. D-Wave will offer new quantum development bundles that provide access to both the simulator and gate-model systems.
- Selected to receive a $1,566,240 grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) through the agency’s National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NQVL) program. This funding will support D-Wave’s gate model efforts as a partner in the ERASE (Erasure Qubits and Dynamic Circuits for Quantum Advantage) project, which is focused on developing foundational technologies for fault-tolerant quantum computing and strengthening U.S. leadership in quantum innovation.
- Awarded second year funding for the Improved Materials for Superconducting Qubits with Scalable Fabrication (SQFab) project by the Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub (NORDTECH). The SQFab project is one of four innovative programs selected by the U.S. Department of War (DOW) through NORDTECH that collectively received more than $25 million in funding after achieving key first-year benchmarks.
- Signed a number of new and renewing customer engagements for both commercial and research applications, including with: one of the world’s largest gambling and entertainment companies; AT&T - one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies; Nasdaq Verafin - a global technology company serving the capital markets and other industries; Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. - a leading Japanese technology company focused on info-telecom and infrastructure innovation; Shionogi & Co. Ltd. - a major Japanese pharmaceutical company dedicated to innovative medicines; and Unisys - a global technology solutions company that powers breakthroughs for the world’s leading organizations.
- Awarded the Great Place to Work CertificationTM for 2026. Great Place to Work is regarded as a global authority on workplace culture, employee experience and leadership behaviors proven to help organizations build high-performing workplaces.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. Each of Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Loss and Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses is a financial measure that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that each measure provides investors an additional meaningful method to evaluate certain aspects of such results period over period. The Company defines each of its non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
- Non-GAAP Gross Profit is defined as GAAP gross profit less depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We use Non-GAAP Gross Profit to measure, understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans.
- Non-GAAP Gross Margin is defined as GAAP gross margin adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We use Non-GAAP Gross Margin to measure, understand and evaluate our core business performance.
- Adjusted EBITDA Loss is defined as net loss before interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, remeasurements of liability-classified warrants, and other non-operating or non-recurring income and expenses. We use Adjusted EBITDA Loss to measure the operating performance of our business, excluding specifically identified items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses is defined as operating expenses before depreciation and amortization expense, non-operating or non-recurring expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We use Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses to measure our operating expenses, excluding items we do not believe directly reflect our core operations.
The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our presentation of non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. For a reconciliation of each of Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Loss and Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the reconciliations below.
