Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure. On November 4, 2026, D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave” or the “Company”) announced powerful performance enhancements to its Stride™ hybrid solver. In key benchmark testing, the enhanced solver found better solutions in 15 seconds than the previous version found in 120 seconds. In addition, the Company also launched a new, three-course Applied Quantum Optimization learning path to accelerate hybrid-quantum optimization adoption. Together, the enhanced solver and training courses further equip developers to apply quantum optimization to complex, real-world business challenges. D-Wave has enhanced the core algorithm of its Stride hybrid solver to extend performance across the complex optimization problems it already supports. Combining quantum and classical computing resources, the updated Stride hybrid solver, now available in the Leap™ quantum cloud service, helps users quickly find high-quality solutions to large optimization problems that can be difficult for classical computing alone to address. D-Wave’s new, three-course Applied Quantum Optimization learning path provides hands-on instruction for identifying promising optimization use cases, formulating mathematical models and building applications using D-Wave's Stride hybrid solver. Designed for learners with varying levels of experience, select courses also include access to D-Wave's Leap quantum cloud service and office hours to support practical learning. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
