D-Wave Quantum Inc.
D-Wave Completes Acquisition of Quantum Circuits to Become Leading Dual-Platform Quantum Computing Company
Summary
On January 20, 2026, D-Wave Quantum Inc. completed its acquisition of Quantum Circuits, Inc., a leading developer of error-corrected superconducting gate-model quantum computing systems. The transaction was executed through the issuance of 10,430,444 shares of D-Wave common stock and $250,000,000 in cash. This acquisition positions D-Wave as the world's first and only dual-platform quantum computing company, combining its annealing quantum systems with Quantum Circuits' gate-model technology. The combined entity aims to accelerate the development of a scaled, error-corrected gate-model quantum computer, with plans to make an initial system available in 2026. The transaction also includes a Registration Rights Agreement granting certain registration rights to the Quantum Circuits securityholders. While the acquisition is expected to expand D-Wave's technological capabilities and market position, the company warns of potential risks, including the failure to successfully integrate the two entities and the possibility of a decline in D-Wave's stock price due to integration challenges or unmet expectations.
