Overview
- D‑Wave completed a voluntary transfer from the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq and marked the change by ringing the Nasdaq Opening Bell on July 27, 2026.
- AT&T announced an expanded commercial collaboration to deploy D‑Wave’s annealing quantum systems across network operations including outage detection, traffic management, technician routing, and network build planning.
- The companies said an early production test shortened a network‑optimization workload from roughly one hour to under 15 seconds, a roughly 240× speedup that underpins the wider rollout.
- Markets reacted with a sharp intraday rally in D‑Wave shares and gains for other quantum peers, while the firms did not disclose financial terms for the expanded agreement.
- Investors now look to D‑Wave’s August 6 Q2 earnings for evidence that pilot results are translating into revenue, bookings, and sustainable cash flow as the company also advances a gate‑model roadmap after acquiring Quantum Circuits.
