$QBTS People keep comparing D-Wave to IonQ and Rigetti like they're the same thing. They're not. D-Wave owns the annealing market. There is no second place. No other company has a viable commercial annealing system. Period.
500+ patents granted and pending worldwide, ranked 3rd largest quantum IP portfolio globally. 60% of those patents apply to both annealing and gate-model, meaning the QCI acquisition doesn't start from zero, it builds on two decades of superconducting IP.
The quantum computing market is projected to hit
$20B by 2030 at 41% CAGR. Optimization is the largest application segment and that's exactly where annealing dominates. Finance, logistics, manufacturing, defense. These aren't science projects, D-Wave has over 200 million problems submitted to its systems and Fortune 100 customers signing
$10M QCaaS deals.
