D-Wave and Tohoku University Announce Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Adoption and Implementation of Quantum Computing in Japan. Creating new use cases for quantum solutions in areas such as optimization, artificial intelligence, and materials simulation
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS, hereinafter "D-Wave" or "the Company"), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, and Tohoku University Graduate School of Information Sciences (hereinafter "Tohoku University"), a national university corporation that is a world leader in the research, application, and education of quantum annealing technology, have announced a new strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the adoption and implementation of annealing quantum computing technology in Japan. Under the partnership, the two parties will jointly provide technical expertise and professional services.
D-Wave and Tohoku University will focus on projects that support the development and implementation of quantum and hybrid quantum applications in the Japanese market. The two parties will work on developing quantum applications aimed at solving a wide range of problems, including employee shift scheduling, production scheduling, resource optimization, logistics routes, and cargo loading.
Tohoku University is one of the world's first research and educational institutions to use D-Wave's annealing quantum computer. In October 2017, we established the Tohoku University Quantum Annealing Research and Development Center (T-QARD) to promote research and development of quantum annealing technology. Since then, we have demonstrated leadership in the fields of research, application, and education of annealing quantum computing through joint research projects with many companies. In addition, Tohoku University has also been certified as a "Quantum Solutions Center" by the Cabinet Office.
"At the Ozeki Laboratory, we focus on applied research of quantum annealing, and promote its use in the real world, especially through joint research with companies. To date, we have verified the effectiveness of quantum technology in fields such as material development and optimization problems, and have obtained promising results. In the future, we would like to deepen our collaboration with D-Wave to further commercialize the technology, and together with D-Wave, we would like to provide quantum solutions to Japanese private companies that are not at the research level but are commercialized in the real world," said Professor Masayuki Ozeki of the Tohoku University Graduate School of Information Sciences, who was at the center of the partnership.
"We expect that the combination of Tohoku University's expertise in annealing quantum computing research and applications with our powerful quantum systems will greatly accelerate the adoption of quantum technology in Japan," said Lorenzo Martinelli, D-Wave's Chief Revenue Officer. "We believe that the collaboration between D-Wave and Tohoku University will help advance innovative new quantum and hybrid quantum applications in the Japanese market and contribute to solving complex business and societal challenges."

A report from MarketsAndMarkets projected that the global quantum computing market size will be valued at USD 5.3 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 32.7% during the forecast period through 2029. The report said: โQuantum computing is a growing technology that has the opportunity to make computing faster. These devices can perform valuable tasks but have a high rate of error. In short-term quantum computing, use cases will have a hybrid quantum operating model, a mix of traditional and quantum computers. In the short term, also known as the NISQ era, the revenue for quantum computing will be entirely generated from end-user industries and quantum computing research investments. Mid-term quantum computing is expected to witness many advantages over conventional computers. To achieve this stage, quantum algorithms with a high error correction ability are required. Long term quantum computing requires a high tolerance for error correction and scalability. At this stage, the value will be added by the quantum hardware, quantum software, and service providers. Systems segment to account for highest CAGR of the quantum computing market during the forecast period Quantum computer systems are designed to solve complex problems that traditional computers find difficult. Constant investments and development in quantum computing systems are driving the market during the forecast period. Quantum computing hardware launches are becoming increasingly common. The shipment of quantum computing systems is increasing daily. The cloud segment is projected to account for a larger share of the quantum computing industry than the on-premises segment from 2024 to 2029.โ Active Companies in the markets today include ZenaTech, Inc.

DWave has been far surpassed by IBM, IonQ, QUBT, PsiQuantum, Rigetti, and many other quantum information companies.
Now, they are just finding dupes to buy shares and diluting existing shareholders.
You will know if DWave is doing well if the don't continue more than 40% per year diluation of shareholders. In the latest year, they have sped up the dilution and are creating 80% more shares over prior year. Terrible!
Google years ago had taken a look at DWave and dumped them as inferior technology. The evidence of this is that bookings are down. They just send out hype press releases. The company is rapidly on the way out.

Maybe sell some Jun 6 or Jun 13 covered calls between $20 -$25 strike price. Of course, this depends on the market action (bullish) come Tuesday morning to help determine this action. But just selling 1 covered call (100 shares) at $20 and it happens to get called away will net you $2000, not including whatever premium you will get upfront. If it does get called away, you pocket $2000+ (premium paid upfront) and still have 900 shares, if it expires worthless (not hitting the strike price you sold the option, let's say $20) you pocket the premium you were paid upfront and still have 1000 shares.
Just something to think about, if you were thinking about taking some profits...
Congrats on the nice gains & GLTY

QBTS...$7.16...🥳...Bullish Psar Flip...News...PALO ALTO, Calif. & HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (โD-Waveโ), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, and Davidson Technologies, Inc. (โDavidsonโ), a mission-driven technology company supporting U.S. Department of Defense and aerospace customers, today announced that the physical assembly of a D-Wave Advantage2 annealing quantum system is complete at Davidsonโs headquarters in Huntsville, Alabama. With the assembly phase now finished, installation nears completion as the system undergoes final calibration and readiness testing.
Progress with the system assembly and installation represents a major milestone in the partnership between D-Wave and Davidson and positions Alabama as a key contributor to quantum infrastructure in the U.S. The Advantage2 system will be the first annealing quantum computer hosted on-premises in the state, offering new pathways for the development of quantum optimization applications designed to support mission-critical challenges in areas including national defense. The system will eventually be housed in a secure facility developed to run sensitive applications using quantum computing technology.
The milestone will be commemorated during a private VIP ribbon-cutting event on April 23 at Davidsonโs headquarters, where dignitaries at the state and federal levels are joining executives from both companies for an exclusive unveiling.
