• The fluxonium qubits that D-Wave has designed, manufactured, and operated demonstrate properties comparable to the best in scientific literature to date
• D-Wave has manufactured and tested fluxonium qubits in a two-dimensional circuit geometry, measuring several factors

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, recently announced notable progress in its development of high-coherence qubits, with results expected to have a significant impact on its future quantum technologies. The fluxonium qubits that D-Wave has designed, manufactured, and operated demonstrate quantum properties comparable to the best in scientific literature to date.

The fluxonium qubit was pioneered by Michel Devoret and his colleagues at Yale University in 2009 and has recently become an attractive candidate for use in next-generation gate model quantum computing architectures. With the industry’s growing interest and D-Wave’s expertise in flux-like quantum technologies, the company explored the use of fluxonium in developing its own technology. D-Wave has manufactured and tested fluxonium qubits in a two-dimensional circuit geometry, measuring several factors.

“These results show that fluxonium is a viable candidate qubit for D-Wave’s gate model quantum computing architectures. Moreover, in doing this work, we have learned that fluxonium can address some of the known shortcomings of competing superconducting gate model qubits,” said Mark Johnson, SVP of quantum technologies and systems products at D-Wave (https://ibn.fm/icFXs). “We believe this will have a significant impact on D-Wave’s hardware development and reinforces our technical leadership by demonstrating that we can design, manufacture, and operate high-coherence fluxonium qubits that are comparable to the best in the world.”

We expect that quantum computing will have broad applicability to computationally complex problems across industries, including manufacturing, life sciences, finance, logistics, and more. D-Wave’s pursuit of practical quantum computing has resulted in its technology being used by more than two dozen Forbes Global 2000 companies and blue-chip industry leaders like Mastercard, Deloitte, ArcelorMittal, Siemens Healthineers, Unisys, NEC Corporation, Pattison Food Group Ltd., DENSO and Lockheed Martin.

D-Wave owns one of the industry’s largest quantum computer intellectual property portfolios. The company has more than 210 issued U.S. patents and has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers in leading scientific journals.

According to data from Hyperion Research, over 80% of enterprises are looking to move forward with quantum computing efforts with increased funding and resources. One-third of respondents plan to invest at least $15 million in quantum efforts – all of which will take place in the next two to three years (https://ibn.fm/K387s). We believe this shows that forward-thinking organizations are beginning to recognize quantum as an opportunity to enhance operations – from finding efficiencies and reducing waste to decreasing time to solution and solving problems that were once abandoned due to their complex nature.

D-Wave is strategically positioned to help its customers achieve value by leveraging quantum computing in practical business applications, due to its use of annealing quantum computers. As one of the few companies offering a full stack of quantum computing systems, software, and services, D-Wave is making strides to enable enterprises, governments, developers, and researchers to access the power of quantum computing, which is a unique attribute for prospective investors.
