DPCM Capital, Inc. (“DPCM Capital”) (NYSE: XPOA), a publicly
traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced the
completion of its business combination (the “Business Combination”)
with D-Wave Systems Inc. (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing
systems, software, and services—and the only provider building both
annealing and gate-model quantum computers.
Pursuant to the Business Combination, D-Wave Quantum Inc.
(“D-Wave Quantum” or the “Company”) became the parent company of
DPCM Capital and D-Wave, and its shares of common stock and
warrants are expected to commence trading, on Monday, August 8,
2022 on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker
symbols “QBTS” and “QBTS WS,” respectively. DPCM Capital’s shares

NYSE.
Company management will ring the NYSE opening bell Monday,
August 8, 2022, at 9:30 a.m. ET in honor of D-Wave Quantum’s
listing and celebrating the advent of commercial quantum computing
into public markets.
“From its inception more than 20 years ago, D-Wave has focused
on delivering quantum computing products and services that provide
the fastest path to practical, real-world applications with
customer value,” said Alan Baratz, CEO, D-Wave Quantum. “Today
marks a significant milestone in our journey, as we embark on our
next phase as a publicly-traded company. Through this Business
Combination, we are well-positioned to accelerate our growth
strategy, using capital raised through the Business Combination
along with our new access to the public markets to advance the
production of our quantum computing solutions and continue to
unlock the power of quantum computing to benefit business and
society. The era of commercial quantum computing is here.”
D-Wave provides the only complete end-to-end quantum solution,
encompassing hardware, software, real-time quantum cloud service,
developer tools and powerful quantum hybrid solvers, and is the
only company building both annealing and gate-model quantum
computers. With a focus on relentless innovation and product
delivery, D-Wave has brought to market five generations of quantum
computers to date and, in June 2022, launched an experimental
prototype of its sixth-generation machine, Advantage2. D-Wave also
holds a broad portfolio of 200+ patents applicable to both
annealing and gate-based quantum computing.
D-Wave’s commercial customers include nearly two dozen Forbes
Global 2000 companies and industry leaders like Volkswagen,
Accenture, BBVA, NEC Corporation, Save-On-Foods, DENSO, and
Lockheed Martin, which are exploring quantum hybrid applications.
In addition to enterprise customers actively utilizing D-Wave to
solve their complex computational problems, thousands of developers
across the globe have built hundreds of early quantum applications
in diverse areas that include resource scheduling, mobility,
logistics, drug discovery, portfolio optimization, manufacturing
processes, and many more.
CEO Alan Baratz will continue to lead the Company’s operations.
As part of the Business Combination, Emil Michael, CEO and Chairman
of DPCM Capital, joins D-Wave Quantum’s board of directors.
“We are pleased to complete our Business Combination with
D-Wave, a market-leading company that we expect to remain at the
forefront of commercializing the quantum computing market,” said
Emil Michael, CEO, DPCM Capital, Inc. “Today D-Wave is the only
commercial quantum computing company in the world, and the only
quantum computing company that is building both annealing and
gate-model quantum computers. As a result, we believe the company
will be able to unlock a significant portion of the multi-billion
dollar quantum computing total addressable market (TAM). We have
confidence that D-Wave will deliver long-term value to stockholders
and look forward to continuing to support them in the years
ahead.”
Investors may view the opening bell ringing here.
