D-Wave Quantum entered Q3 with surging bookings, CHIPS funding, a Nature research advance and expanded AT&T use, supporting key growth catalysts.
The U.S. government is taking minority equity stakes in D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, and Quantinuum with a combined $300 million CHIPS Act deal that funds the three companies to scale quantum-computing research.
The tail end of the summer may be giving investors in quantum computing a bit of whiplash. On the one hand, D-Wave Quantum Inc. NASDAQ: QBTS delivered one of the more underwhelming Q2 2026 earnings reports, missing on both earnings and revenue, with sales growth seemingly grinding to a halt while competitors saw healthy acceleration.
