Annealing

Organisations tagged annealing. Annealing qubits are not gate-model qubits. 3 records use this tag. A company can carry more than one.

D-Wave Quantum

Burnaby, BC (engineering); Boca Raton, FL (corporate HQ, 2026), Canada

Reported Advantage: 5,000+ annealing qubits (not gate-model qubits)

Founded in Burnaby in 1999. Annealing systems on the Leap cloud, plus a gate-model path via the January 2026 acquisition of Quantum Circuits Inc. for about $550 million. Corporate HQ moved through Palo Alto to Boca Raton; the Quantum Engineering Center of Excellence remains in Burnaby. Named in reported CHIPS awards. Canada’s CQCP was framed in part as a response to this US migration.

NEC

Tokyo, Japan

Historical first solid-state qubit demonstration in 1999. Continues superconducting research and sells vector annealing for optimisation. Smaller public qubit scale than Fujitsu.

Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech

Barcelona, Spain

Reported EuroQCS-Spain annealer in 10 / 15 / 25 qubit stages

Analog superconducting annealing and SpeQtrum quantum-as-a-service. Supplier of EuroQCS-Spain at BSC, staged at 10, 15, and 25 qubits, inside MareNostrum-Ona.
