D-Wave CEO Semaphore brings commercial quantum computing to the center of global economic and technology discussion at the World Economy and QED-C Quantum Summit

Partnership to strengthen D-Wave’s leadership in commercial quantum computing, significant technological advancements, and quantum-AI innovation

Palo Alto, California, April 13, 2026–(business telegram)–D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), the only dual-platform quantum computing company that offers both annealing and gate-model systems, software and services, today announced that CEO Dr. Alan Baratz will join global leaders on the main stage. semaphore world economy On April 14, 2026 and QED-C Quantum Summit On April 15, 2026, the growing importance of quantum computing in global economic, technology and policy discussions was reinforced.

As quantum computing gains momentum among global business and government leaders, Dr. Baraz will highlight how the technology is moving from experimentation to commercial adoption, delivering value today and underscoring the urgency of adoption now. He will also explain why quantum computing can help address the increasing energy demands of AI and other advanced computational workloads and discuss D-Wave’s latest technological advances in its annealing and gate-model quantum systems.

“In today’s complex and competitive global economy, organizations need to make faster decisions, work more efficiently, and address increasing compute costs and energy demands,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “Quantum computing offers a powerful new way to solve hard problems that may be difficult for classical approaches alone, especially in areas like optimization, materials simulation and AI. At D-Wave, we are helping customers put that potential to work in ways that deliver real operational and competitive advantages today.”

At Semaphore World Economy, Dr. Baraz will participate “Geo-economics of AItrack, discussing how advances in AI are reshaping business and infrastructure, and what role quantum computing could play in enabling more energy-efficient and performant AI. Semaphore World Economy is one of the world’s largest meetings of top global CEOs and government officials to exchange ideas shaping the future of the world economy. A livestream of the session will be available Here On April 14, 2026 at 1:55 pm ET.

The QED-C Quantum Summit brings together industry, government and research leaders to share data, align on priorities, and drive coordinated action across the global quantum ecosystem. At the summit, Dr. Baraz will join senior industry and government leaders in a keynote panel from 11:50 am to 12:20 pm ET on April 15, 2026, to discuss key decisions shaping the next phase of quantum commercialization. He will also show how global organizations are using D-Wave’s technology in logistics, manufacturing, life sciences, defense and emergency response, often facilitating faster, more efficient decision making than classical approaches alone.

These discussions match world quantum day 2026An annual festival promoting public awareness and understanding of quantum science and technology around the world.
