D-Wave announced significant progress in both annealing and gate-model quantum computing platforms. The company reported 314% year-over-year growth in Advantage2 system usage and 114% growth in hybrid solver usage over six months. New capabilities include machine learning integration in the Stride hybrid solver for optimization workflows, and advanced annealing controls (multicolor annealing and fast-reverse anneal) for quantum research. Following the Quantum Circuits acquisition, D-Wave outlined an accelerated gate-model roadmap featuring dual-rail qubits, on-chip cryogenic control, and plans to launch an initial gate-model system in 2026, positioning itself as the only company with all three core technologies for scaled, error-corrected superconducting systems.
