Neutral Impact 2 of 5 product/contract Written later

D-Wave Quantum Inc. launched a beta program on October 1, 2026, giving select customers early access to its gate-model quantum computing simulator ahead of general availability. The filing names BBVA, FirstQFM, Florida Atlantic University and the Jülich Supercomputing Centre as participants. The filing contains no financial results, guidance or financial figures, so the announcement is a product development milestone rather than a change in reported financial performance.
