Forget margin or options. Here's how the pros trade QBTSThe event comes as Europe puts more focus on quantum tech as a key part of growth, trade, and public use. D-Wave pointed to fresh support in the UK, new policy steps in the EU, and more focus from Italy as signs that the field is gaining more weight with both state and business leaders.
D-Wave Looks to Show Real Use Cases
D-Wave stated the event will bring together its team, users, and partners to showcase live demos, share use cases, and provide updates on its quantum systems. The firm plans to cover its work in annealing, gate model systems, hybrid quantum tools, blockchain, and AI.
CEO Dr. Alan Baratz said Europe is “playing an important role in the advancement and adoption of quantum computing.” He added that quantum is now seen not just as a scientific field but as a technology area tied to “industry, research, and national competitiveness.”
For D-Wave, the event gives it a stage to show that quantum use is moving past labs and into real-world tasks. It also helps the firm build ties with users in Europe at a time when local demand and state support may be on the rise.
Why This Matters for Investors

Still, quantum computing remains an early-stage market. That means the long-term chance may be large, but the path can be hard to size. As a result, investors will likely watch whether events like Qubits Europe lead to more deals, more use cases, and clearer signs of sales growth.
