Inside D-Wave's Full-Stack Quantum Computing Solutions
Quantum Matters: Where Quantum Computing Gets RealShow Notes
In this episode, we take you behind the curtain for a close look at D-Wave's full quantum computing technology stack. Host Murray Thom sits down with longtime colleague Dr. Trevor Lanting, Chief Development Officer at D-Wave, to discuss how the hardware, software, and applications all fit together.
From cryogenic hardware and processors, to the Leap™ cloud platform and Ocean™ open-source tools, to the real-world applications customers are running now, Murray and Trevor give you the story behind the technology, D-Wave's culture of innovation, key milestones, and where the product roadmap is heading. Trevor breaks down D-Wave's dual-platform strategy across annealing and gate-model systems, why each has its own sweet spot, and how the lessons learned scaling annealing position D-Wave to drive the commercialization of gate-model quantum computing.

For more than 30 years, Dr. Robert Schoelkopf has been working on one of quantum computing's biggest challenges: how to build a better qubit. His answer is the dual-rail qubit, a first-of-its-kind superconducting qubit that embeds error detection directly at the hardware level.
What does the next generation of computing look like when quantum and classical machines work together?
What if a blockchain network could run on quantum computers—and use a fraction of the energy?
What does quantum advantage actually mean? How do you prove a quantum computer can outperform the world’s most powerful supercomputers? And why is its energy efficiency arriving at such an important time for the world?
What role can quantum computing play in national defense? In this episode of Quantum Matters, host Murray Thom speaks with Dale Moore, president and CEO of Davidson Technologies, about the effort to bring quantum computing into practical defense applications. Dale details his team’s collaboration with D-Wave and Anduril applying quantum computing to air and missile defense planning, and discusses the importance of housing a D-Wave Advantage2 system at Davidson’s facilities in Huntsville, Alabama.
