PALO ALTO, Calif. – September 15, 2026 -- D-Wave Quantum Inc.the only dual-platform quantum computing company providing both annealing and gate-model systems, software and services, today announced its participation as a platinum sponsor of Quantum World Congress 2026, taking place September 23-25 in College Park, Maryland.

At Quantum World Congress, D-Wave will demonstrate that the quantum era is multi-platform with different quantum computing technologies to address different types of computational problems. The Company will present results from annealing quantum computing applications solving complex commercial and public-sector optimization problems today. In addition, it will provide updates on its dual-rail gate-model architecture, designed to reduce the cost and complexity of quantum error correction, a critical requirement for enabling applications well suited to gate-model quantum computing, such as quantum chemistry and materials simulation.

“In our view, quantum computing is not a single-architecture race, and it will not be won by qubit counts alone,” said Schoelkopf. “D-Wave is bringing two kinds of evidence to Quantum World Congress: production results from annealing systems solving complex optimization problems now, and gate-model results showing how hardware-level erasure detection can reduce the burden of quantum error correction. Organizations should not have to choose between useful quantum computing today and a credible path to fault tolerance. Our two-platform strategy is designed to deliver both.”
