D-Wave's CEO, Alan Baratz, Discusses Quantum Computing

Quantum computing has been one of the hottest investment topics
in the past two months and three of the leading listed companies
in the space are de-SPACs. But, how close is quantum
computing to generating real value and what capabilities are
still years away?


This week, we speak with Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave (NYSE:QBTS),
which went public in a business combination with DPCM
Capital in 2022. Alan explains how D-Wave’s quantum
computers are already doing commercial work and generating
revenue by solving complex business optimization problems for
clients.


He also gives a primer on what investors should look for in the
quantum industry news as they try to parse real progress from
incremental research.


How did D-Wave itself emerge from a post-listing capital crunch
to announce record bookings in 2024 and start out 2025 with over
$300 million in cash on hand?


Give it a listen.
