D-Wave gets EUR 10M from SQT to deploy Advantage2 annealing quantum computer

D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) announced an agreement with Swiss Quantum Technology to deploy a D-Wave Advantage2 annealing quantum computer in Europe. Announced at Digital Innovation Forum – ComoLake 2025, the agreement represents a EUR 10M commitment from SQT, with an option to purchase the system. The company said, “Capable of solving complex computational problems beyond the reach of classical computers, the placement of this Advantage2 system also supports the newly formed Q-Alliance, an initiative that empowers Italy with new global infrastructure in quantum computing to support the country’s Digital Transformation future. The Advantage2 system funded by SQT will be accessible to customers via D-Wave’s Leap real-time quantum cloud service. Featuring D-Wave’s most advanced quantum processor to date, the 4,400+ qubit Advantage2 system is a powerful and energy-efficient quantum computer designed to facilitate quantum and hybrid quantum applications for production deployment.”
