1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave” or the “Company”) was incorporated as a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware on January 24, 2022. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger between DPCM Capital, Inc. (“DPCM”), D-Wave Systems Inc. (“D-Wave Systems”), and certain other affiliated entities through a series of transactions (the “Merger”) pursuant to the definitive agreement entered into on February 7, 2022 (the “Transaction Agreement”). On August 5, 2022, in conjunction with the Merger, DPCM and D-Wave Systems became wholly-owned subsidiaries of, and are operated by, the Company. Upon the completion of the Merger, the Company succeeded to all of the operations of its predecessor, D-Wave Systems.
D-Wave is focused on the development and delivery of quantum computing systems, software, and services. The Company is the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, and the first to offer dual-platform quantum computing products and services, spanning both annealing and gate-model quantum computing technologies. The Company’s superconducting quantum computers provide sub-second response times and can be deployed on-premises or accessed through its LeapTM quantum cloud service (the “Leap service”), which offers 99.9% availability and uptime. Customers apply D-Wave’s technology to address use cases spanning optimization, artificial intelligence, research and more. The Company's current sixth-generation annealing quantum computing system is named Advantage2TM.
D-Wave has four operating facilities, which it leases, in North America. These facilities are located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Richmond, British Columbia, Palo Alto, California, and New Haven, Connecticut.
