D-Wave Quantum Inc.
D-Wave Quantum Awarded Second Year Funding for Superconducting Qubits Project
Summary
On May 26, 2026, D-Wave Quantum Inc. announced that it has been awarded second year funding for the Improved Materials for Superconducting Qubits with Scalable Fabrication (SQFab) project by the Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub (NORDTECH). This award supports D-Wave's role in advancing scalable superconducting qubit fabrication and next-generation U.S. microelectronics capabilities. The SQFab project, awarded to D-Wave subsidiary Quantum Circuits, LLC, is one of four innovative programs selected by the U.S. Department of War (DOW) through NORDTECH, a regional consortium of non-profit accessible semiconductor R&D facilities, government labs, defense companies, academic institutions, and technology manufacturing organizations in and around New York State. NORDTECH is one of eight hubs composing the U.S. Microelectronics Commons program, which is a DOW initiative executed through the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division and managed by the National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL). The four programs are collectively receiving more than $25 million in second year funding after achieving key first-year benchmarks by demonstrating significant results in the design, fabrication, and characterization of key quantum computing components. D-Wave's project aims to improve materials for superconducting qubits with scalable fabrication methods, supporting the development and advancement of next-generation microelectronics capabilities from research to manufacturing.
