D-Wave Quantum Inc. announced its annual Qubits user conference will take place January 27 and 28, 2026, in Boca Raton, Florida, bringing together global attendees to explore the rapidly advancing field of quantum computing. The event will feature talks from D-Wave executives, customers, industry leaders, and scientists focused on how the company's energy-efficient annealing quantum computers and hybrid-quantum solvers are delivering measurable impact today.
For business and technology leaders, the conference represents a critical opportunity to understand how quantum computing is moving from theoretical promise to practical application. D-Wave will share its latest technology roadmap for both annealing and gate-model initiatives during the event, underscoring its position as the only company building both types of quantum computers. This dual approach provides insights into how different quantum computing architectures might evolve to solve distinct business problems.
The speaker lineup includes representatives from organizations already leveraging quantum technology, including Anduril, AT&T, Davidson Technologies, Lighthouse DIG, North Wales Police, PolarisQB, Q-Alliance, Quantum Coast Capital, TECNALIA, Unissant, and Verge. These presentations will offer concrete examples of how quantum computing is being applied to optimization, artificial intelligence, research, and other computational challenges across industries.
D-Wave's quantum processing units feature sub-second response times and can be deployed on-premises or accessed through the company's quantum cloud service, which offers 99.9% availability and uptime. With over 100 organizations using D-Wave technology and more than 200 million problems submitted to their quantum systems to date, the conference will provide evidence of real-world quantum computing adoption.
For those unable to attend in person, D-Wave will offer a free virtual livestream of the first day's talks, making the content accessible to a broader audience of business leaders interested in quantum computing's commercial potential.
