D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, announced that its annual Qubits user conference will take place January 27 and 28, 2026, in Boca Raton, Florida. The event will feature talks from D-Wave’s executives, customers, industry leaders, and scientists, focusing on how the company’s energy-efficient annealing quantum computers and hybrid-quantum solvers are delivering measurable impact today. Additionally, D-Wave will share its latest technology roadmap for both annealing and gate-model initiatives, underscoring its leadership in delivering commercial-grade superconducting quantum technology and outlining its strategic vision for the future.
Qubits 2026 is positioned as one of the premier quantum computing events of the year, bringing together attendees from around the globe to share insights, explore new ideas, and discuss the rapidly advancing field of quantum computing. Notable speakers include representatives from Anduril, AT&T, Davidson Technologies, Lighthouse DIG, North Wales Police, PolarisQB, Q-Alliance, Quantum Coast Capital, TECNALIA, Unissant, Verge, and others. The diversity of speakers reflects the broad applicability of quantum computing across defense, telecommunications, technology, law enforcement, and finance sectors.
For those unable to attend in person, D-Wave will offer a free virtual livestream of the first day’s talks. The full press release and registration link can be accessed at https://ibn.fm/MdYSK.
The announcement is significant as it demonstrates that quantum computing is transitioning from theoretical research to practical, commercial use. D-Wave’s focus on annealing quantum computers, which are suited for optimization problems, and its hybrid-quantum solvers, which combine classical and quantum resources, have enabled over 100 organizations to tackle their toughest computational challenges. With more than 200 million problems submitted to D-Wave’s quantum systems to date, the company claims 99.9% availability and uptime for its quantum cloud service.
The upcoming technology roadmap will likely detail advancements in both annealing and gate-model quantum computing. Gate-model quantum computers, which are more general-purpose but still in earlier stages of development, represent a long-term strategic vision for D-Wave. By advancing both approaches, D-Wave aims to maintain its leadership in the competitive quantum computing landscape.
The involvement of organizations such as Anduril, a defense technology company, and AT&T, a telecommunications giant, highlights the strategic importance of quantum computing for national security and critical infrastructure. Quantum computing’s potential to solve complex optimization problems could lead to breakthroughs in logistics, cryptography, materials science, and artificial intelligence.
Investors and industry observers will be watching for updates on D-Wave’s commercial traction and technological milestones. The latest news and updates relating to QBTS are available in the company’s newsroom at https://ibn.fm/QBTS.
