D-Wave Finalizes $100M U.S. Government Agreement for Quantum Computing R&D

By The Quantum InsiderSeptember 8, 2026

AI Summary

D-Wave secured a $100 million government agreement to develop a 100,000-qubit quantum system.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. has officially finalized a $100 million agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce. This deal, which follows a previously announced Letter of Intent, aims to bolster domestic quantum capabilities and strengthen the supply chain for advanced computing technologies.

The funding is specifically earmarked for the development of D-Wave’s next-generation quantum computers. This includes a massive 100,000-qubit annealing system designed to provide superior performance in complex fields such as materials simulation, optimization, blockchain, and artificial intelligence.

This initiative aligns with the broader objectives of the CHIPS and Science Act. By investing in these systems, the U.S. government hopes to maintain a competitive edge in quantum leadership, ensuring that the country can effectively scale, commercialize, and manufacture state-of-the-art quantum hardware.
