D-Wave to Present Scientific Advancements in Annealing and Gate-Model Quantum Computing at APS Global Physics Summit

Business March 11, 2026

PALO ALTO, Calif., MARCH 10, 2026 -- D-Wave Quantum Inc.(“D-Wave” or the “Company”), the only dual-platform quantum computing company, providing both annealing and gate-model systems, software, and services, today announced that it will present new scientific results at the American Physical Society’s Global Physics Summit, the world’s largest physics conference, on March 15-20, 2026, in Denver, Colorado.

At the conference, D-Wave researchers will present technical developments in both annealing and gate-model quantum computing, highlighting advances in analog-digital processor control, error detection and correction, programmable quantum dynamics and optimization. The talks underscore D-Wave’s continued momentum scaling practical, commercially viable quantum computers.

“The Global Physics Summit is an important forum for sharing scientific progress with the global physics community,” said Trevor Lanting, chief development officer at D-Wave. “The work we will present reflects meaningful advancements in performance, scalability and real-world applications. We are focused on translating these technical breakthroughs into capabilities that help our customers solve complex problems better, faster and more efficiently than classical approaches.”

Through this research, D-Wave’s esteemed scientists and engineers continue to strengthen the Company’s commercial leadership in annealing quantum computing while accelerating its differentiated dual-rail approach to building gate-model systems. D-Wave’s dual-rail gate-model qubits combine superconducting speed with the fidelity of trapped ion and neutral atom systems, a capability unmatched by any other quantum computing vendor.
