D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, announced it will participate in CES 2026 as a sponsor of the CES Foundry, a two-day event at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on January 7 and 8, 2026. The company will showcase its award-winning annealing quantum computing technology, hybrid quantum-classical solvers, and real-world customer use cases that demonstrate measurable performance benefits often beyond classical computing alone.
Murray Thom, vice president of quantum technology evangelism at D-Wave, will present a masterclass and demo on Wednesday, January 7 from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. PT. The session aims to educate attendees about how to realize value from quantum computing today. Registration for the masterclass is available at https://www.ces.tech/schedule/how-quantum-computing-is-transforming-business-today/.
"Showcasing quantum computing at CES, one of the world's most influential technology stages, signals that the technology is quickly moving into the mainstream," said Murray Thom. "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."
D-Wave is the world's first commercial supplier of quantum computers and the only company building both annealing and gate-model quantum computers. Its quantum computers feature QPUs with sub-second response times and can be deployed on-premises or accessed through its quantum cloud service, which offers 99.9% availability and uptime. More than 100 organizations trust D-Wave with their toughest computational challenges, and over 200 million problems have been submitted to its quantum systems to date. Customers apply the technology to address use cases spanning optimization, artificial intelligence, research, and more.
The announcement underscores the growing mainstream adoption of quantum computing, as evidenced by its presence at CES, a premier global technology event. D-Wave's participation highlights the tangible business value that quantum computing is already delivering, moving beyond theoretical promise to practical applications. This development is significant for industries seeking to leverage quantum computing for competitive advantage, as it demonstrates that the technology is no longer experimental but a viable tool for solving complex real-world problems.
