D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) has announced its inaugural Qubits Japan 2025 quantum computing user conference, scheduled for September 17 in Tokyo. The announcement comes amid significant growth in the Asia Pacific region, with bookings up 83% over the past 12 months.

The conference, themed "Quantum Realized," will showcase several customer success stories, including: Japan Tobacco's quantum AI drug discovery pilot project, NTT DOCOMO's successful implementation of quantum optimization resulting in a 15% decrease in paging signals during peak times, and a strategic partnership with Yonsei University and Incheon Metropolitan City to advance quantum computing in South Korea.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) reported strong Q2 2025 financial results with significant growth across key metrics. Revenue increased 42% year-over-year to $3.1 million, while GAAP gross profit rose 42% to $2.0 million. The company achieved its highest-ever cash balance of $819 million, bolstered by a successful $400 million ATM equity offering.

Key operational highlights include the launch of their sixth-generation Advantage2 quantum computer, strategic developments in cryogenic packaging, and new quantum AI developer tools. The company expanded its global presence through a strategic partnership with Yonsei University and Incheon Metropolitan City in South Korea.

Despite revenue growth, D-Wave reported a net loss of $167.3 million ($0.55 per share), primarily due to $142.0 million in non-cash charges related to warrant liability remeasurement.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) has unveiled new developer tools to advance quantum AI exploration, including an open-source quantum AI toolkit and demo. The toolkit, part of D-Wave's Ocean™ software suite, enables seamless integration between D-Wave's quantum computers and PyTorch, a widely-used machine learning framework.

The toolkit features a PyTorch neural network module for building and training restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) models using quantum computers, particularly useful for generative AI tasks like image recognition and drug discovery. The company has demonstrated successful quantum AI applications through collaborations with Japan Tobacco Inc., Jülich Supercomputing Centre, and TRIUMF, showing improved performance over classical computing methods in various applications.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) has announced a strategic development initiative focused on advanced cryogenic packaging to accelerate both gate model and annealing quantum processor development. The company is collaborating with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to leverage their superconducting bump-bond process, successfully demonstrating end-to-end superconducting interconnect between chips.

The initiative aims to enhance D-Wave's multichip packaging capabilities, equipment, and processes. The company is also investing in equipment to increase circuit densities in its superconducting printed-circuit-board manufacturing, targeting the development of larger processors and supporting analog-digital quantum computing technology. The ultimate goal is to advance towards 100,000 qubits while maintaining superior qubit temperatures and coherence times.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, has scheduled its second quarter fiscal 2025 earnings release for August 7, 2025, before market open.

The company will host a conference call at 8:00 a.m. ET on the same day, featuring CEO Dr. Alan Baratz and CFO John Markovich. Investors can access the call via telephone at 1-800-717-1738 (domestic) or 1-646-307-1865 (international).
