D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world's first commercial supplier of quantum computers, announced it will participate in CES 2026 as a sponsor of the CES Foundry, a two-day event at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, January 7 and 8, 2026. At the event, D-Wave will showcase its award-winning annealing quantum computing technology, hybrid quantum-classical solvers, and real-world customer use cases that are demonstrating measurable performance benefits, often beyond classical computing alone.
Murray Thom, vice president of quantum technology evangelism at D-Wave, will present a masterclass and demo on Wednesday, January 7 from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. PT, educating attendees about how to realize value from quantum computing today. The masterclass is part of D-Wave's efforts to demonstrate practical quantum computing at one of the world's most influential technology stages.
"Showcasing quantum computing at CES, one of the world's most influential technology stages, signals that the technology is quickly moving into the mainstream," said Murray Thom. "D-Wave is uniquely positioned to demonstrate practical quantum in action, and we're excited to show how our systems are helping customers solve complex problems now, often with greater speed, efficiency, and impact than classical computing alone."
D-Wave's participation at CES 2026 is significant because it highlights the growing commercial viability of quantum computing. Unlike many quantum computing companies that focus on future potential, D-Wave has been delivering commercial quantum systems for years. The company's annealing quantum computers are designed to solve optimization problems, which are common in industries such as logistics, finance, and manufacturing. By showcasing real-world customer success stories, D-Wave aims to demonstrate that quantum computing is not just a research tool but a practical technology that can deliver business value today.
The CES Foundry event provides a platform for D-Wave to reach a broad audience of technology leaders, investors, and potential customers. This exposure could accelerate the adoption of quantum computing across various sectors. Moreover, the company's hybrid quantum-classical solvers allow users to combine the strengths of quantum and classical computing, making it easier to integrate quantum capabilities into existing workflows.
D-Wave's announcement comes at a time when the quantum computing industry is gaining momentum. Major technology companies and governments are investing heavily in quantum research and development. D-Wave's presence at CES 2026 underscores its leadership in the commercial quantum computing space. The company's quantum computers, which feature QPUs with sub-second response times, can be deployed on-premises or accessed through its quantum cloud service, which offers 99.9% availability and uptime.
For investors, D-Wave's participation at CES 2026 may signal growing confidence in the company's technology and market position. The company has over 100 customers and has processed more than 200 million problems on its quantum systems. As quantum computing continues to move from the lab to the marketplace, D-Wave's ability to demonstrate practical applications could be a key differentiator.
