Swiss Quantum Technology signs €10M agreement to deploy a D-Wave Advantage2 annealing system
On 2025-10-15 D-Wave Quantum announced that Swiss Quantum Technology SA signed a €10 million agreement, including an option to purchase, to deploy a D-Wave Advantage2 annealing quantum computer (4,400+ qubits) in Europe, accessible via D-Wave's Leap cloud service. The placement supports the newly formed Q-Alliance initiative in Italy and was announced at the ComoLake 2025 forum.
A €10M named commitment with a purchase option to deploy a specific Advantage2 system is a concrete commercial deal with a named counterparty and dollar figure, clearing the partnership-scope bar; it is a below-$50M but meaningful capital-and-deployment event for D-Wave's European push.
On-premises/European-hosted Advantage2 placements expand D-Wave's annealing footprint outside North America and create a recurring-access revenue channel; the Q-Alliance link ties the deal to Italy's national quantum strategy.
