Bonus Article from MarketBeat Media 3 Key Ways D-Wave Is Developing an Advantage in Quantum ComputingSubmitted by Nathan Reiff. First Published: 1/20/2026. 
Key Points - D-Wave's 358% trailing-12-month return might scare some investors worried that the company is overhyped, but a number of key developments could continue to position it favorably.
- The company's recent achievement of an important technological milestone with the first scalable on-chip cryogenic control of qubits gives it a key advantage in the push toward commercialization.
- D-Wave's acquisition of Quantum Circuits will also cement its status as a dual provider of both annealing and gate-model tech, at a time when rivals like Rigetti have suffered setbacks.
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), the $10-billion quantum computing company whose share price has risen more than 358% in the past 12 months, is trying to position itself as the go-to quantum firm in a crowded field that includes competitors such as IonQ Inc. (NYSE: IONQ), Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), and others. All of these companies face the challenge of showing the broader market that quantum technology can be useful for real-world applications. Still, three recent developments—two clear wins for D-Wave and one setback for Rigetti—could position QBTS as a leading name this year. D-Wave Has Entered the Gate-Model Arena Some analysts are revisiting historical monetary resets and the role gold has played when governments faced large debt imbalances.
A new free report examines how gold was previously revalued to support national balance sheets, why recent comments from policymakers and investors have renewed interest in this topic, and what individuals may want to understand about protecting long-term savings during periods of monetary change. Download the free report here A longtime critique of D-Wave has been that it focused too narrowly on quantum annealing. Annealing is well suited for certain optimization problems, but many analysts and investors have argued it may have narrower commercial potential than gate-model quantum computing, which appears to offer broader applications. D-Wave has been working to address that concern by expanding its R&D to include gate-model technology. At the start of the year the company announced it achieved the first scalable on-chip cryogenic control of qubits. This on-chip control could reduce the need for extensive wiring and external cryogenic controls, a key obstacle to scaling quantum chips, and makes D-Wave a more credible competitor in gate-model systems. With that advancement, D-Wave is positioning itself to compete across two different quantum approaches—a combination few pure-play rivals can currently match. Putting the Cash Reserves to Good Use After accumulating more than $800 million in cash by late 2025, D-Wave entered 2026 with a major acquisition announcement. The $550-million purchase of Quantum Circuits Inc., expected to close in January 2026, accelerates D-Wave's path toward large-scale, error-corrected gate-model systems and strengthens its presence in gate-model quantum technology. Management expects the acquisition to help bring gate-model products and services to market in 2026. While details remain limited, the deal signals a push to broaden D-Wave's product lineup and appeal to a wider customer base—an important step toward growing revenue (which was only $3.7 million in the most recent quarter) and moving toward profitability. Rigetti's Delay Could Mean a New Opportunity for D-Wave A third potential advantage for D-Wave is external. In early January, Rigetti said it would delay the general availability date of its Cepheus-1 108-qubit system. To reach its stated target of 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity, Rigetti pushed the launch back to the end of the first quarter of 2026. By itself, the delay is not unusual—companies often adjust timelines to ensure quality. But coming as D-Wave makes notable technological progress, and following an roughly 18% year-over-year sales decline for Rigetti in the most recent quarter, the setback could shift investor sentiment toward D-Wave. Rigetti remains a formidable competitor, but market signals are worth noting: short interest in RGTI stock rose by 9.4% in the last month, while D-Wave's short interest fell by 2.4%. Taken together, these factors may create an opening for D-Wave to pull ahead. Analysts rate D-Wave a Moderate Buy, based on 14 Buys out of 16 total ratings. Still, investors should remember the company remains speculative: D-Wave's valuation is large relative to its sales, producing a price-to-sales ratio above 1,143, even as analyst targets imply roughly 16.8% upside to the share price.
