D-Wave Quantum Inc Demonstrates Major Hardware Breakthrough For Quantum Error Correction Advancing The Path To Practical Fault-Tolerant Gate-Model Quantum Computing D-Wave Quantum Inc. announced a major research breakthrough advancing the path to practical, fault-tolerant gate-model quantum computing. Published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature, the research demonstrates a fast, high-fidelity, two-qubit entangling gate that preserves the error-correction advantages of D-Wave’s superconducting dual-rail qubit architecture. The results address one of the industry’s most consequential challenges by reducing the immense quantum and classical hardware overhead typically required to detect and correct quantum errors as systems scale. D-Wave's dual-rail gate-model quantum processor is built on a dual-rail architecture designed to detect quantum errors at the hardware level. This built-in error detection makes quantum error correction more efficient, supporting a practical path to scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing. The paper, “An entangling gate for dual-rail erasure qubits,” details a new two-qubit entangling gate, a fundamental building block of quantum computation, designed to support efficient quantum error correction. The research demonstrates approximately 99.9% fidelity during two-qubit operations, with fast gate times of about 500 nanoseconds, enabled by native hardware-level error detection. Leveraging these results, D-Wave simulations indicate its dual-rail architecture could reduce the logical error rate by as much as a factor of 10 for each increment in error correction, significantly reducing the physical qubit overhead required for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Quantum information is inherently fragile and highly susceptible to errors, making efficient quantum error correction essential for the development of reliable, fault-tolerant gate-model quantum computers. In many gate-model architectures, correcting those errors requires large numbers of additional physical qubits and operations, creating substantial engineering complexity, cost, and performance constraints. D-Wave’s dual-rail architecture is designed to create a favorable error hierarchy in which the most common quantum errors are also the easiest to correct. The newly published research demonstrates that this favorable error hierarchy is preserved during two-qubit operations, with the technology maintaining both speed and high fidelity. The results establish an important foundation for scalable quantum error correction with substantially lower hardware overhead. The entangling gate demonstrated through this research is already integrated into D-Wave's gate-model systems, where it is delivering comparable performance. The research supports D-Wave’s recently announced gate-model development roadmap, which targets a 2032 completion of a 100-logical-qubit system capable of successfully performing more than 1 million operations. The roadmap brings together D-Wave’s superconducting dual-rail architecture and integrated cryogenic control technology to enable more efficient error detection and awareness as systems scale. D-Wave’s roadmap is targeting an error reduction rate, or Lambda, of 10. Lambda is a measure of how rapidly a quantum computer’s errors are reduced as more error-correction capability is added. A Lambda of 10 means the system becomes 10 times more reliable with each increment in error correction, making it possible to achieve low logical error rates required for fault-tolerant quantum computing with far fewer physical qubits. The research further advances D-Wave’s dual-platform strategy of developing complementary annealing and gate-model quantum computing technologies to address the full range of computationally complex problems.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$7.7m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (18% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$166m net loss in 3 years). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (19% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$7.7m sold). Recent Insider Transactions • Jun 17

D-Wave Quantum Announces New Gate-Model Roadmap Targeting 100 Logical Qubits Capable of Performing over One Million Operations by 2032 D-Wave Quantum announced a new gate-model roadmap designed to accelerate the development of commercial, fault-tolerant quantum computing. Targeting 100 logical qubits capable of successfully performing over one million operations by 2032, the roadmap combines D-Wave’s expertise in high-coherence dual-rail qubits and quantum error correction, with its proven ability to engineer, scale and commercialize superconducting quantum systems. D-Wave believes the future of commercial gate-model quantum computing will be defined not by raw physical qubit counts alone, but by the ability to reliably execute large-scale computations for real-world applications. While much of the industry focuses on scaling physical qubits, D-Wave is pursuing a differentiated approach centered on reducing errors at the hardware level. Its dual-rail qubit architecture embeds error detection directly into the qubits, making errors detectable during computation at the single-qubit level. In contrast to many other gate-model hardware modalities that cannot detect qubit errors, D-Wave’s dual-rail qubits are designed to identify approximately 90% of errors as they occur to dramatically lower the number of physical qubits required to perform error correction. D-Wave has also demonstrated, with error detection, 99.9% two-qubit fidelities, meaning physical errors occur only about once in every 1,000 operations. The roadmap outlines a progression of technical milestones designed to improve qubit fidelity, advance large-scale computations and support the development of commercially useful quantum applications. Key roadmap milestones include: Delivery of a 17-physical-qubit system that supports logical error rates 2 times lower than physical error rates in 2026; Completion of a 49-physical-qubit system that can deliver an expected 20-fold error reduction factor over the physical error rate in 2027; 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 in 2028; Completion of a 10-logical-qubit system that can support the first fault tolerant algorithms in 2030; 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 in 2032. D-Wave’s roadmap is built on superconducting technology, which can run quantum error correction cycles 100 to 1000 times faster than neutral atom or trapped ion systems. The Company views Lambda as a key metric that should be used to measure progress toward fault-tolerant quantum computing. Lambda is a measure of how rapidly a quantum computer’s errors are reduced as more error-correction capability is added. The broader quantum computing industry has demonstrated Lambda values around 2, meaning each increment in error correction reduces errors by about half. D-Wave’s roadmap is targeting a Lambda of 10, a major leap the Company expects will reduce errors far more quickly, by a factor of 10 for each increment in error correction, making it possible to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computing with significantly fewer physical qubits. Combined with D-Wave’s proprietary on-chip cryogenic control technology, proven superconducting systems expertise and production-ready quantum cloud infrastructure, the Company believes its dual-rail gate-model roadmap presents a fast, efficient, and achievable path to commercial gate-model quantum computing. With more than 15 years of experience designing and building superconducting quantum computing systems, D-Wave has successfully delivered six generations of annealing quantum computers, culminating in its award winning Advantage2 system. As the only provider of annealing and gate-model technologies, D-Wave is uniquely positioned to participate in the full addressable quantum computing market. Announcement • May 27

D-Wave Introduces Quantum Blockchain Architecture, Featuring Enhanced Security and Efficiency over Classical Computing D-Wave Quantum Inc. announced that it has published a new research paper introducing a novel blockchain architecture that uses techniques from its quantum supremacy demonstration. By adding quantum to traditional blockchain computation, the new architecture could enhance blockchain security and efficiency. As part of this research, D-Wave scientists deployed the blockchain architecture across four of its cloud-based annealing quantum computers in Canada and the United States, performing distributed quantum computing for the first time. An illustration from a new research paper published by D-Wave introducing a novel blockchain architecture that leverages the company's quantum supremacy achievement. The illustration depicts how a "proof of quantum" algorithm developed by D-Wave uses quantum computation to generate and validate blockchain hashes. The new research paper, "Blockchain with Proof of Quantum Work," highlights how D-Wave built and tested a "proof of quantum" algorithms that uses quantum computation to generate and validation blockchain hashes. Classical computers currently used for hashing and proof of work consume significant amounts of electricity. Each year, the power consumption of Bitcoin alone-- just one application of blockchain-- is estimated to be comparable to the power consumption of the entire country of Poland. D-Wave's research indicates that using quantum computation for hashing and proof of work could require a fraction of the electricity used by classical resources alone and potentially reduce electricity costs by up to a factor of 1,000. The paper introduces a new quantum-powered method to securely and efficiently create hashes by mapping classical functions to the complex programmable spin glasses simulated in D-Wave's recent supremacy demonstration. The proof of quantum algorithm presented in the paper is designed to incorporate hashes generated by a quantum computer, excluding classical computation from the process and adding an enhanced layer of security. Initially developed to enable cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, blockchain technology has a diverse range of applications across supply chain management, healthcare, identity verification, and decentralized finance. The D-Wave™? annealing quantum computers used in the Company's recent quantum supremacy demonstration and this new blockchain research are available for customers to use via D-Wave's Leap™? real-time quantum cloud service. D-Wave plans to continue to drive the development of this capability and work with partners to bring to market products based on this new blockchain architecture. Price Target Changed • Mar 14

More than 100 organizations trust D-Wave with their toughest computational challenges, providing them with the opportunity to realize the value of quantum computing today. Organizations are increasingly looking to quantum computers to accelerate research, bolster national security and global competitiveness, and explore how the technology can address challenges resulting from AI's escalating power consumption. In fact, a study conducted by Hyperion Research reported that the increased focus on AI and compute-intensive technology is generating demand for on-premises quantum computers, particularly in HPC environments. Nearly 20% of respondents said that they prioritize the control, security, and immediacy provided by on-site quantum computing infrastructure. Modern HPC environments are built with tens of thousands of graphics processing units (GPUs) working together simultaneously to perform calculations. While the GPU excels at executing AI tasks such as data mining, pattern matching, and predictions, the quantum processing unit (QPU), used in quantum computers, brings unique strengths in solving complex problems that can enhance AI capabilities and drive compute efficiencies while helping reduce power consumption.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 40% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (36% average weekly change). Negative equity (-US$17m). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (40% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$64m net loss in 3 years).
