D-Wave Quantum Inc. Demonstrates Scalable On-Chip Cryogenic Control for Gate-Model Qubits

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, recently announced a breakthrough in gate-model quantum computing with the successful demonstration of scalable on-chip cryogenic control of qubits. This industry-first milestone advances the development of commercially viable gate-model quantum computers by significantly reducing the wiring required to control large numbers of qubits without degrading qubit fidelity. The achievement validates that the on-chip cryogenic control technology D-Wave developed for its commercial annealing quantum processing units can also be applied to its gate-model architectures.

In D-Wave annealing systems, the control technology uses multiplexed digital-to-analog converters to control tens of thousands of qubits and couplers with just 200 bias wires. The same control technology can also reduce gate-model wiring complexity while maintaining qubit fidelity, enabling large-scale, practical gate-model QPUs. D-Wave is the world’s first and only dual-platform quantum computing company, building and delivering annealing and gate model quantum computing technology to address customers’ full set of complex computational problems. More than 100 organizations trust D-Wave with their toughest computational challenges, with over 200 million problems submitted to their quantum systems to date.

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. This breakthrough in scalable control represents a critical step toward practical, large-scale quantum computing that could accelerate advancements in optimization, artificial intelligence, and scientific research.
