D-Wave extends quantum chip manufacturing collaboration with SkyWater under multi-year agreement
QBTS•D-Wave Quantum entered a multi-year agreement with SkyWater Technology to extend their quantum chip manufacturing collaboration, supporting development at SkyWater’s Minnesota fab. A separate project using D-Wave’s annealing systems cut SkyWater fab lot delays by up to 30%.
1. Manufacturing agreement
D-Wave Quantum and SkyWater Technology entered a multi-year agreement extending their quantum chip manufacturing collaboration. The deal secures process development support at SkyWater’s Minnesota fab for D-Wave’s superconducting quantum technology roadmap, including Advantage2 processors, and includes intellectual property protections for D-Wave.
2. Fab scheduling project
In a separate project, D-Wave’s annealing systems optimized SkyWater fab maintenance schedules, cutting lot delays by up to 30%.
