D-Wave Quantum's Expanded Global Customer Base Is Gaining Attention

During the third quarter of 2025, D-Wave Quantum QBTS signed several new and renewed customer agreements across both commercial and research applications, reflecting growing adoption of its quantum computing solutions. These engagements included a new agreement with one of the largest U.S.-based international airlines. The company also signed a new engagement with SkyWater Technology, the largest pure-play semiconductor foundry in the United States, and expanded its relationship with the pharmaceutical division of Japan Tobacco. In addition, D-Wave entered into an agreement with Yapi Kredi, one of Turkey’s leading banks, highlighting the relevance of quantum computing for banking use cases. Additionally, the company signed an engagement with Korea Quantum Computing – a company specializing in quantum computing R&D, quantum security solutions and AI infrastructure in Korea — to strengthen D-Wave’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Collectively, these agreements span key industries, such as aviation, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, financial services and quantum research, further contributing to $2.4 million of bookings in the third quarter. Soon after the third quarter, the company highlighted a significant EUR 10 million agreement with Swiss Quantum Technology SA to deploy a D-Wave Advantage2 annealing quantum computer in Europe. Peer UpdateIn the third quarter, Quantum Computing Inc.
