In addition to D-Wave's history of innovation with annealing quantum computers, we have been making steady progress with our gate-model technology development as well. Both the annealing and gate-model technology are built on superconducting qubits which we believe have a long-term advantage over all other approaches to quantum computing. We are also leveraging the quantum systems technology we have developed for our annealing technology to accelerate our gate-model program.
