D-Wave Quantum Acquires Quantum Circuits and Wins Major US Contracts on Fresh Federal Backing D-Wave Quantum is acquiring Quantum Circuits, Inc., extending its technology into gate-model quantum computing alongside its existing annealing systems, while also securing a $20 million system sale to Florida Atlantic University and a $10 million multi-year services contract with a Fortune 100 company.
The company is set to benefit from two new U.S. executive orders signed on 22 June 2026 that channel $2b in federal support toward quantum and mandate federal adoption of quantum technologies, complementing an earlier $100 million U.S. CHIPS and Science Act grant to D-Wave.
D-Wave Quantum shares trade at $25.03, with the stock up 54.6% over the past 90 days, reflecting strong recent momentum despite shorter-term volatility.
Taken together, the acquisition, large contracts and new U.S. policy support concentrate execution risk on D-Wave’s ability to turn booked demand and dual-platform R&D into durable commercial usage and manageable cash burn. New Risk • Jun 17
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 Stock Jumps on Gate-Model Roadmap Strong Bookings and US Government Funding D-Wave Quantum outlined a gate-model roadmap that targets 100 logical qubits capable of more than 1 million operations by 2032, supported by a proposed US$100 million commitment under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act and framed within a dual-platform strategy covering both annealing and gate-model systems.
The company reported record Q1 2026 bookings of US$33.4 million, including a US$20 million system sale to Florida Atlantic University and a US$10 million two-year quantum computing-as-a-service deal with a Fortune 100 customer, while revenue for the quarter was US$2.9 million and operating losses widened.
In January 2026 D-Wave acquired Quantum Circuits Inc. for US$550 million to add superconducting gate-model capabilities, and later secured a Letter of Intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for up to US$100 million in funding. The stock has seen volatility around events such as Quantinuum’s large IPO and sector-wide risk-on trading days.
The picture that emerges is of D-Wave Quantum leaning heavily into a long-term technology roadmap and dual-platform positioning, with strong bookings growth and government interest but a financial profile that still relies on external capital and carries execution risk on both integration and technical milestones.
Investors may want to weigh the large addressable market estimates and analyst enthusiasm against the company’s widening losses, the gap between bookings and recognized revenue, insider share sales, and the potential impact of increasing competition from better-capitalized quantum computing peers.

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. Ankündigung • 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

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).
