D-Wave Quantum Inc., a leader in quantum computing systems and the world's first commercial supplier of quantum computers, announced its participation as a sponsor of the CES Foundry at CES 2026. The two-day event will take place at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on January 7 and 8, 2026, where D-Wave plans to showcase its award-winning annealing quantum computing technology, hybrid quantum-classical solvers, and real-world customer use cases demonstrating measurable performance benefits.
Murray Thom, vice president of quantum technology evangelism at D-Wave, will present a masterclass and demonstration on Wednesday, January 7 from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. PT, educating attendees about how to realize value from quantum computing today. The session will focus on practical applications and benefits that businesses can achieve with current quantum technology. Registration for the masterclass is available at https://www.ces.tech/schedule/how-quantum-computing-is-transforming-business-today/.
"Showcasing quantum computing at CES, one of the world's most influential technology stages, signals that the technology is quickly moving into the mainstream," said Murray Thom. "D-Wave is uniquely positioned to demonstrate practical quantum in action, and we're excited to show how our systems are helping customers solve complex problems now, often with greater speed, efficiency, and impact than classical computing alone."
The company's participation at CES 2026 represents a significant milestone for the quantum computing industry, indicating that commercial quantum applications have progressed beyond theoretical research to practical business solutions. D-Wave's technology has already processed more than 200 million problems submitted to its quantum systems, with customers applying the technology to address use cases spanning optimization, artificial intelligence, and research applications.
D-Wave's quantum computers feature quantum processing units with sub-second response times and can be deployed on-premises or accessed through the company's quantum cloud service, which offers 99.9% availability and uptime. More than 100 organizations currently use D-Wave's technology for their toughest computational challenges, according to company information available at https://ibn.fm/i3JYB.
The company's presence at CES 2026 will provide technology leaders and business executives with firsthand exposure to how quantum computing can deliver tangible business value. As quantum technology continues to mature, events like CES serve as critical platforms for demonstrating real-world applications that can give companies competitive advantages in solving complex optimization problems, accelerating AI development, and advancing scientific research.
