D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), the only dual-platform quantum computing company offering both annealing and gate-model systems, will ring the Nasdaq Opening Bell on July 27, 2026.
The ceremony marks the company’s listing debut on the exchange following the voluntary transfer of its common stock listing to Nasdaq.
CEO Dr. Alan Baratz and the D-Wave management team will participate in the bell-ringing event at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square.
The occasion will be broadcast live beginning at 9:15 a.m. ET on Nasdaq’s official website, giving investors and the public direct access to the milestone event.
D-Wave describes itself as the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, with more than 100 organizations across commercial, government, and research sectors relying on its systems.
The company provides enterprise-grade quantum computing systems available both on-premises and via its Leap quantum cloud service, which the company says offers 99.9% availability and uptime.
Dr. Baratz framed the Nasdaq move as a strategic step forward, stating: “The quantum market is beginning to separate proof from promise, and we believe that D-Wave stands apart.”
He added: “We have commercial technology delivering measurable customer value now and a differentiated gate-model roadmap that positions us to address the full quantum computing market.”
Dr. Baratz concluded: “Our move to Nasdaq, the leading exchange for technology companies, begins a new chapter as we accelerate our commercial momentum and enter our next phase of growth.”
D-Wave’s gate-model program is designed to provide what the company calls an efficient and achievable path to fault-tolerant quantum computing, complementing its existing annealing systems.
The listing transfer positions D-Wave alongside many of the world’s largest and most recognized technology companies, signaling its ambitions to compete at the highest level of the industry.
The bell-ringing ceremony represents a broader milestone for the quantum computing sector, as enterprise and government adoption of production-grade quantum systems continues to grow.
