D-Wave now has access to up to $100 million of U.S. CHIPS and Science Act funding.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re grateful to the U.S. government for this award to D-Wave and for the leadership it is demonstrating in advancing quantum innovation,\u201d said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. \u201cThe Administration has made clear that U.S. quantum leadership will require not only breakthrough research, but also the ability to scale, commercialize and manufacture these technologies. This award will help fulfill that mission by expanding domestic quantum capabilities, strengthening the underlying supply chain and bringing increasingly powerful quantum systems to market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThis funding is expected to accelerate R&amp;D for the development and scaling of D-Wave\u2019s annealing and gate-model quantum systems. The award will support development of D-Wave\u2019s next-generation quantum computers, including a 100,000-qubit annealing system targeting greater performance across optimization, materials simulation, blockchain and artificial intelligence. It will also further the development of a 10,000-qubit gate-model system designed to enable 100 logical qubits capable of successfully performing more than one million operations, enabling applications such as quantum chemistry and quantum AI.<\/p>\n<p>\nThese efforts advance broader CHIPS and Science Act objectives by strengthening domestic quantum computing capacity and the supply chain needed to bring state-of-the-art systems to market.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe U.S. Department of Commerce will receive a minority, non-controlling equity stake in D-Wave as a condition for receiving the funds, enhancing the return for the U.S. taxpayer.<\/p>\n<p><b>About D-Wave Quantum Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nD-Wave is a leader in the development and delivery of quantum computing systems, software, and services.
