D-Wave's first-quarter 2026 revenue fell 81% to $2.9 million, but the drop was entirely a comparison against the prior-year quarter's one-time $12.6 million Jülich system sale; underlying QCaaS revenue grew nearly 15% and professional services over 26%. Bookings reached a record $33.4 million, including the $20 million Florida Atlantic University system sale, and remaining performance obligations rose 563% to $42.4 million. Operating expenses climbed 125% to $56.5 million, including $9.1 million of Quantum Circuits acquisition costs, widening the net loss to $18.4 million and the adjusted EBITDA loss to $32.8 million. Management raised its system-sales outlook to two or three deals per year and detailed a dual-rail gate-model roadmap targeting 100 logical qubits by 2032.

“the work that they are focused on with respect to leveraging GPU technology to aid in error correction is important work”
Asked about NVIDIA's quantum error-correction announcement, D-Wave said NVIDIA's GPU-based error-correction work is relevant to gate-model systems but only partly applicable to its more efficient dual-rail architecture.
“The Google team showed a way to break the Bitcoin protocol with 500,000 superconducting qubits.”
D-Wave contrasted Google's superconducting approach (fast but requiring 500,000 qubits) with neutral-atom efficiency, arguing its dual-rail technology captures both speed and efficiency, a competitive signal on Google's quantum research.
