SkyWater and D-Wave Renew Quantum Manufacturing Partnership

• •SkyWater and D-Wave extend a decade-long partnership for quantum manufacturing.
• •The agreement focuses on semiconductor process development for D-Wave's quantum technology.
• •Recent projects have improved manufacturing efficiency by reducing delays by 30%.

SkyWater Technology and D-Wave Quantum Inc. have announced a multi-year agreement to extend their collaboration in quantum manufacturing. This partnership, which has been ongoing for over a decade, focuses on semiconductor process development and manufacturing for D-Wave's superconducting quantum computing technology. The agreement aims to ensure manufacturing continuity and protect D-Wave's intellectual property as it advances its technology roadmap. Recent projects have demonstrated the application of D-Wave's quantum technology to optimize manufacturing processes, resulting in a 30% reduction in lot delays. The collaboration has already supported multiple generations of D-Wave's technology, including the Advantage2™ processors. The companies are also working on a forthcoming proof-of-concept to further enhance manufacturing efficiency.
