PALO ALTO, Calif. and COMO, Italy, Oct. 14, 2025 \u2014 D-Wave Quantum Inc.<\/a>, a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world\u2019s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, announced its participation as a founder of Q-Alliance, defined in the Memorandum of Understanding signed in Como today as \u201cThe Birth of the World\u2019s Most Powerful Quantum Hub.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The initiative empowers Lombardy with new global infrastructure that leverages D-Wave\u2019s leadership in quantum computing to support Italy\u2019s Digital Transformation future. Q-Alliance aims to accelerate scientific discovery, industrial transformation, and digital sovereignty.<\/p>\n

A Strategic Alliance for the Quantum Era<\/p>\n

D-Wave views the formation of Q-Alliance as a historic milestone for the quantum computing industry. Rooted in the Italian Government\u2019s strategic framework for digital and quantum technologies, it aligns with the priorities defined by the Interministerial Committee for Digital Transition and with the policy guidelines promoted by Undersecretary of State Senator Alessio Butti.<\/p>\n

Open Science, Young Talents, and Responsible Innovation<\/p>\n

Q-Alliance operates as an open and inclusive ecosystem, ensuring accessibility to Italy\u2019s scientific community, academia, and industry. It promotes strong involvement of young researchers through scholarships, internships, and training programs.<\/p>\n

Institutional Recognition and Strategic Value<\/p>\n

Undersecretary Alessio Butti emphasized that Q-Alliance is not only a technological milestone but also a model of open innovation and cooperation, symbolizing Italy\u2019s leadership in the European quantum transition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a historic moment for Italy and for the quantum industry. Q-Alliance supports Italy\u2019s mission to become a global epicenter of quantum leadership, accelerating breakthrough research, industrial innovation and the development of a quantum-ready workforce,\u201d said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. \u201cD-Wave is the only company in the world building both annealing and gate quantum computing technology. It is also the first company to commercialize quantum computing, with customers around the world using our technology today to run business operations and address highly complex computational problems. We believe D-Wave\u2019s production-grade annealing quantum computing technology will serve as a critical component of the Q-Alliance, fueling quantum application development and adoption now.\u201d<\/p>\n
