D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, today announced several initiatives designed to increase adoption and deployment of its commercial quantum optimization offering. At the Company’s Qubits 2025 user conference, D-Wave introduced updates to its hybrid quantum solvers and expanded use cases, reflecting increased demand for quantum optimization solutions from end users,independent software vendors (ISVs), system integrators (SIs), and resellers.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, today announced a groundbreaking milestone with Ansys, a leader in the Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) industry, that shows quantum computing outperforming classical computing when designing important life-saving medical devices.

Pasqal, a global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, announced yesterday the 15 finalists of “The Blaise Pascal Quantum Challenge: Combining Quantum AI for Sustainable Innovation” hackathon. Over the past eight weeks more than 800 participants from over 70 countries have collaborated with mentors from Pasqal’s technical expert team to develop solutions in the domains of transforming energy systems, maximizing resource efficiency, and accelerating sustainable innovation in healthcare. The finalists were announced on the second day of the AI Action Summit, in Paris, in partnership with the French government who named Pasqal’s hackathon a Convergence AI challenge.

IonQ, a leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, today announced the renewal of its agreement with Abu Dhabi’s Quantum Research Center – Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This renewed customer agreement ensures that TII will continue to leverage IonQ’s quantum computing technology to advance the UAE’s position as a global leader in science and technology.

Trapped ions have been one of the most powerful approaches in quantum computing, demonstrating world-record performance, long coherence times and long-range connectivity. But these systems face a fundamental challenge: they struggle to dramatically scale up the number of physical qubits, relying on one-dimensional chains with hard physical limitations that prevent scaling — until now.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. , a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, and Staque, a leading consulting and development practice in AI, blockchain and quantum computing, announced a new strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the commercial adoption of annealing quantum computing across the Middle East.

Research published earlier this month in the science journal Nature used NVIDIA-powered supercomputers to validate a pathway toward the commercialization of quantum computing. The research, led by Nobel laureate Giorgio Parisi and Massimo Bernaschi, director of technology at the National Research Council of Italy and a CUDA Fellow, focuses on quantum annealing, a method that may one day tackle complex optimization problems that are extraordinarily challenging to conventional computers.

Citi Innovation Labs has partnered with the quantum software company Classiq to explore portfolio optimization solutions, according to a blog post on the AWS website. Using Amazon Braket, the collaboration marks a significant step in applying quantum algorithms to complex financial problems.
