D-Wave Quantum Announces Qubits 2026 Conference to Showcase Commercial Quantum Computing Impact

D-Wave Quantum Inc. announced its annual Qubits user conference will take place January 27 and 28, 2026, in Boca Raton, Florida, bringing together attendees from around the globe to share insights about the rapidly advancing field of quantum computing. The event will feature talks from D-Wave's executives, customers, industry leaders, and scientists, highlighting how the company's energy-efficient annealing quantum computers and hybrid-quantum solvers are delivering measurable impact today. This gathering represents one of the premier quantum computing events of the year, where participants will explore new ideas and discuss practical applications of quantum technology across various industries.

D-Wave will share its latest technology roadmap for both annealing and gate-model initiatives during the conference, underscoring its leadership in delivering commercial-grade superconducting quantum technology and outlining its strategic vision for the future. The company's position as the only organization building both annealing and gate-model quantum computers gives it a unique perspective on the quantum computing landscape. Notable speakers at the event will include representatives from Anduril, AT&T, Davidson Technologies, Lighthouse DIG, North Wales Police, PolarisQB, Q-Alliance, Quantum Coast Capital, TECNALIA, Unissant, Verge, and others, demonstrating the broad industry adoption of quantum computing solutions.

For those unable to attend in person, D-Wave will offer a free virtual livestream of the first day's talks, making the conference accessible to a global audience interested in quantum computing developments. The company's quantum computers feature QPUs with sub-second response times and can be deployed on-premises or accessed through their quantum cloud service, which offers 99.9% availability and uptime. More than 100 organizations currently trust D-Wave with their toughest computational challenges, with over 200 million problems submitted to their quantum systems to date, addressing use cases spanning optimization, artificial intelligence, research and more.

The conference announcement comes as D-Wave continues to position itself as a leader in making quantum computing commercially viable today, rather than a distant future technology. By bringing together users, developers, and industry experts, Qubits 2026 will provide valuable insights into how quantum computing is already solving real-world problems across multiple sectors. The event represents an important opportunity for stakeholders to understand both the current capabilities and future direction of quantum computing technology as it moves from experimental research to practical implementation in business and scientific applications.
