D-Wave is the latest quantum computing company to say it has achieved “quantum supremacy,” better known as the ability to solve a problem with a quantum computer that can’t be done with a traditional computer.

The company says it has solved the first problem of scientific relevance with a quantum processor faster than could be done with classical computers—but others disagree

Shares of D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) climbed over 18% after the company reported mixed results in its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings report. Revenue of $2.3 million beat expectations of $2.2 million.
