D-Wave Announces Agreement to Acquire Quantum Circuits Inc.

D-Wave has announced a $550M agreement to acquire Quantum Circuits Inc., bringing together two leaders in superconducting quantum computing. The acquisition combines D-Wave’s commercial annealing quantum systems and high-availability quantum cloud platform with Quantum Circuits’ advanced error-corrected gate-model technology. The combined company plans to accelerate the delivery of scaled, fault-tolerant gate-model quantum computers, with superconducting gate-model systems targeted for market availability in 2026. This move strengthens D-Wave’s dual-platform strategy, positioning it to address a broader range of real-world quantum applications across industries.
