D-Wave Quantum Stock Skyrockets on Real-World Computing Breakthroughs
D-Wave Quantum Inc. QBTS, a prominent player in quantum annealing technologies, drew renewed attention following a series of material advancements across hardware, software and enterprise deployments. The company's strong strategic executions and recent public remarks by CEO Dr. Alan Baratz on quantum supremacy underscore a significant period of technical validation and commercial execution. In a year, the stock has skyrocketed 1281%, significantly outperforming the broader Internet Software industry 's 35.1% rise, the Computer and Technology sector's 10% increase and the S&P 500's 12.3% gains. The company also outperformed other prominent players in quantum computing like Rigetti Computing RGTI and IonQ IONQ, which rose 840.6% and 402%, respectively, during the same period. One-Year Price Comparison D-Wave's Quantum Advantage Across Scientific and Emerging Applications In first-quarter 2025, D-Wave demonstrated quantum supremacy on a real-world problem, with its 1,200-qubit Advantage2 prototype completing a complex magnetic simulation in minutes, a task that would take 1 million years and massive energy on the Frontier supercomputer. This marked a significant validation of D-Wave's quantum annealing capabilities. At the same time, D-Wave advanced its full-scale Advantage2 system (4,400+ qubits), featuring doubled coherence time, higher energy scale and improved qubit connectivity—key enhancements for solving complex optimization and AI problems. The company also introduced a Proof of Quantum Work model, showing how quantum computing can cut blockchain energy use by up to 1,000x while enhancing security, highlighting new opportunities in fintech, digital identity and distributed systems. QBTS Ahead of RGTI and IONQ D-Wave is currently ahead of Rigetti and IonQ in delivering real-world value through quantum computing. Unlike its peers, D-Wave's quantum annealing technology has achieved demonstrated performance at scale. Its 1,200-qubit Advantage2 prototype recently completed a complex magnetic simulation in minutes, something estimated to take one million years on the world's most advanced classical supercomputer. This demonstration of quantum supremacy on a practical problem sets D-Wave apart as the only company to date with such proof. Moreover, D-Wave is actively supporting commercial production use cases. Companies like Ford Otosan, NTT DOCOMO, and Japan Tobacco are already leveraging their systems to optimize manufacturing, telecom operations, and drug discovery processes. The Advantage2 system, with over 4,400 qubits, enhanced coherence time, and high qubit connectivity, builds on this momentum with significant hardware maturity. In contrast, Rigetti and IonQ remain in earlier stages, with smaller-scale systems and limited evidence of sustained customer deployment in operational environments. Estimates for D-Wave The Zacks Consensus Estimate for D-Wave's 2025 earnings implies a 72% improvement year over year. D-Wave Quantum currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Carney hints retaliation is coming for Trump's latest steel and aluminum tariffs
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government will take 'some time but not much' to respond to U.S. President Donald Trump's 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum that came into force today. Article content 'The latest tariffs on steel and aluminum are unjustified, they're illegal, they're bad for American workers, bad for American industry, and of course for Canadian industry as well,' he told reporters Wednesday morning as he was entering his caucus meeting. Article content Article content Article content Carney said Canada currently has counter-tariffs in a gross amount, before remissions, on over $90 billion of U.S. imports, and said those remain in place. But given the devastating impacts these new tariffs will have on Canadian industries, there is pressure to retaliate. Article content Article content 'We are in intensive discussions right now with the Americans on the trading relationship. Those discussions are progressing,' said Carney. Article content 'I would note that the American action is a global action, it's not one targeted at Canada, so we will take some time but not more before responding,' he added. Article content Ontario Premier Doug Ford said it was his understanding Canada is 'close to making a deal' with the U.S. but said he would still like to see retaliatory tariffs. On Tuesday, Trump signed an executive ordering raising U.S. tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports from 25 per cent to 50 per cent starting at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. Article content The move deals a significant blow to a key Canadian export, with industry groups warning that steel and aluminum producers are reeling from the noticeable drop in American imports. Article content Article content More than 90 per cent of Canada's steel and aluminum is exported to the United States, according to 2024 federal government statistics. Article content 'They are illegal. These make no sense. They're hurting the Canadian-American relationship terribly,' said Terry Sheehan, the Liberal MP for Sault Ste. Marie—Algoma which is home to Algoma Steel, of Trump's latest tariffs on steel and aluminum. Article content Sheehan said he is encouraging the government to fight back like it did in 2018, when Trump imposed a 25 per cent tariff on steel and a 10 per cent tariff on aluminum imports, to cause maximum pain for the Americans and minimum impact on Canadian industries. Article content 'We've got to continue to hit back hard, and I will encourage that and then make sure that every dollar is used to support my workers and my steel industry,' he said.
