D-Wave Quantum Inc., a pioneering company in quantum computing, has announced its participation as a sponsor at CES 2026, which will take place on January 7 and 8 at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. The event, known as the CES Foundry, is designed to bring together entrepreneurs, investors, government officials, and media to discuss how artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and blockchain are revolutionizing technology.
At CES, D-Wave plans to showcase its award-winning annealing quantum computing technology along with hybrid quantum-classical solvers. The company will present real-world applications that demonstrate the significant performance advantages of quantum computing over traditional methods. Murray Thom, the company’s vice president of quantum technology evangelism, is set to deliver a masterclass on January 7 from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. PT, which will focus on the current value of quantum computing and its implications in sectors such as manufacturing, supply chain, materials science, and telecommunications.
Thom expressed enthusiasm about showcasing quantum technology at CES, highlighting its shift toward mainstream acceptance. He stated, “D-Wave is uniquely positioned to demonstrate practical quantum in action, and we’re excited to show how our systems are helping customers solve complex problems now, often with greater speed, efficiency, and impact than classical computing alone.”
Attendees at CES will have the opportunity to engage with D-Wave experts, experience interactive demonstrations, and learn about the latest advancements in quantum technology at their booth FT12. Additionally, D-Wave will host its annual Qubits quantum computing user conference on January 27 and 28, 2026, in Boca Raton, Florida, providing further insights into the rapid evolution of quantum technology.
D-Wave’s mission is to enable organizations to realize the benefits of quantum computing, with the company’s quantum processors offering sub-second response times and a reliability rate of 99.9%. With over 200 million problems submitted to its systems, D-Wave is committed to advancing industrial and societal progress through quantum solutions.
As the excitement around quantum computing continues to grow, D-Wave’s participation in CES 2026 signifies a critical moment in the integration of advanced technologies, emphasizing a hopeful outlook for the future of innovation and its ability to address complex challenges across various industries.
