D-Wave Shares Jump On Sixth-Gen Quantum Computer Launch: Retail Bull Says Hold The Stock

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS) shares traded 12.4% higher in premarket on Tuesday after the company launched its latest quantum technology, the Advantage2 system, which represents a major advancement in enterprise-level quantum computing. 

Now generally accessible, this sixth-generation platform is built to tackle intricate computational problems that conventional systems struggle to process.

Created to handle demanding tasks in areas like optimization, artificial intelligence, and materials science, the new processor is available worldwide through D-Wave’s Leap quantum cloud service. 

The platform delivers rapid access along with security and consistent uptime in over 40 countries.

The Advantage2 chip features design enhancements, notably a 20-way qubit interconnection enabled by the Zephyr topology. 

This refined layout supports the integration of more sophisticated datasets, allowing for the resolution of increasingly complex challenges. Additional upgrades include a 40% increase in energy scale and a 75% drop in noise levels.

D-Wave’s Advantage2 system supports large-scale problem solving through its integrated hybrid solvers, including one capable of managing up to two million variables, which is ideal for industries like telecom, logistics, and pharmaceuticals. 

The system now offers twice the coherence of its predecessor, thereby slashing solution times and improving the stability of quantum annealing processes. 

“Today marks a significant milestone not just for D-Wave, but for the quantum computing industry as a whole, as we bring to market our sixth-generation quantum computer, a system so powerful that it can solve hard problems outside the reach of one of the world’s largest exascale GPU-based classical supercomputers,” said CEO Alan Baratz.

Even with these advancements, D-Wave upholds its energy-efficient design, consuming only 12.5 kilowatts, consistent with every generation since the company’s inception.

On Stocktwits, sentiment around D-Wave remained in ‘bullish’ territory.

A bullish Stocktwits user urged investors to hold the stock. 

Another user sounded cautiously optimistic.

D-Wave stock has jumped over 56% in 2025 and saw a staggering nine-fold growth in the last 12 months.
