D-Wave to Deploy Second US-Based Advantage™ Quantum Computer at New Davidson Technologies Global Headquarters
JUNE 17, 2024
System expected to become first in the U.S. certified for sensitive applications using annealing quantum computing
PALO ALTO, Calif. & HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, and Davidson Technologies, Inc., a technology services company that provides innovative engineering, technical and management solutions for the U.S. Department of Defense, aerospace and commercial customers, today announced the forthcoming placement of the second US-based D-Wave Advantage quantum computer. Located at Davidson Technologies’ new global headquarters in Huntsville, AL, the system will eventually be housed in a secure facility developed to run sensitive applications using quantum computing technology.
Initially the Advantage system at Davidson will be accessible to all D-Wave customers located in select countries via the Leap™ real-time quantum cloud service. Once the secure facility is established, the system may be exclusively dedicated for sensitive application development and operations. Building on the companies’ existing relationship, the system placement marks an important advancement of the partnership, as D-Wave and Davidson increase efforts to accelerate quantum computing adoption and technology among government agencies, especially in the area of national security.
“Davidson has a track record of embracing emerging and advanced technologies to address unique and critical national defense challenges and protect our nation’s interests,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “By placing an Advantage quantum computing system onsite at Davidson’s headquarters and creating a unique environment for operation, we’re opening up opportunities to tackle the US government’s most pressing computational problems.”
“By housing the second US-based Advantage quantum computer at our facility in Huntsville, we will provide our government customers with unprecedented access to quantum computing technology in our facility,” said Dale Moore, President of Davidson Technologies. “We’re honored to host a D-Wave Advantage computer and believe this will greatly advance quantum’s role in national security, as we support the critical mission of defending the U.S. and its allies, both at home and abroad.”
Up .09 today and tomorrow is the last trading day before obts hits the Russell 3000. Get em cheap while you can.
Excellent call, I totally agree with you.
FYI:
Over 21% plan production-level use of quantum computing over next 12-18 months, a 50% increase over the past two years

I feel like this news is major news and is not getting enough attention. I think it is important. So, I am printing it for you to read it again.
A second D-wave Advantage quantum computer linked to a major technology company (Davidson Technologies, Inc.) who deals primarily with the DOD. This seems like a major deal to me with plenty of future opportunities.

Not real sure. They are presently 42.47% institutionally owned. However, there will be others who jump in and those who presently own may increase their shares. Good news from my view.
No, going to $2.50 after it is moved to the Russel 3000 on July 1st
Just speculating based on that information/
This is happening today and tomorrow, and they join the Russell 3000 on July 1st.
Success Powered by Quantum
June 17 – 18
Renaissance Boston Waterfront, Boston MA
Join us in Boston for this year’s Qubits conference! The two day conference is focused on how quantum can deliver significant benefits to organizations today.
The agenda will be packed with talks and demos of real-world quantum applications across logistics and manufacturing, government, life sciences and other sectors. You will also:
Learn how the power of generative AI and quantum computing will work together to solve large-scale commercial applications.
Hear from leading researchers about the performance of D-Wave's technology versus both classical and quantum alternative technologies.
Hear from D-Wave about the latest quantum technology and software, and learn from experts how to get started with quantum.
Network with your peers and learn from the experience of those who have built and implemented quantum applications.
Have fun! On Monday night (June 17) we are planning an excursion to an island in Boston Harbor for a real New England clambake! (that means lobster, for you non-New Englanders).
Attending Qubits in person is always an excellent opportunity to connect with other innovators involved in quantum computing, but if you can’t come to Boston, register for the livestream of the first day’s talks.
Whether you join us in Boston or attend online, Qubits is always a must-attend event.

Insider Zegart Amy reports buying 3,205 shares of $KTOS at $10.92 for a total cost of $34,993.
Amy is a member of the board and a writer who occasionally writes articles on Kratos. I feel she is very much in the know on Kratos defense. Additionally, there has been approximately one million shares of Kratos bought recently in the after hours trading. Hard to tell exactly how much but it has definitely been active in the first hour after close beginning Feb. 21st. The insider trading from Amy Zegart is a fact but the after hours trading info is vague and to be taken with a grain of salt.
Stocks discussed on the Lightning Round segment of Jim Cramer's Mad Money Program, Tuesday, October 10.
Bullish Call
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (NASDAQ:KTOS): "It has been one of our favorites. We almost cautioned double right now, and I want to stay long."
Unusual. Over 18,000 shares traded in pre market trading. Started at 4AM. Something is moving this stock this morning before open.
Up3stacks, I read the article on the MAKO and it confused me. Did you understand that MAKO can now be marketed and sold or that it has to be tested more. JJ
" By combining the Mako's autonomous capabilities previously demonstrated through single UAS, multi-UAS, and manned/unmanned collaborative operations with the latest mission set capability, the operational utility of the Mako is now established at the next level."
What is the next level?? Guess we will have to wait to find out.

A MUST SEE !! If you are interested in Kratos Defense, you will get a great deal of information from this video. It was produced in early 2017 and so some of the references are out of date but still very informative. FYI, references to the UTAP-22 is now officially name MAKO and references to LCASD is now named Valkyrie. References to Gremlins is very important but not at this time. That contract will be awarded in early 2018. Video is 26.5 minutes long. Enjoy !!

Analyst give short term targets of from $10 to $14. I pay no attention to them at all. My "opinion" target based on my own study is $25 by the the end of the year. I computed that on on these facts: K has gained at a rate of 9.8 cents (.098) per day average since May 5th, last earnings report. There are 122 trading days left in 2016. Take that times .098 cents and it gives you $11.96 in gains (if it continues that rate of gain.) Add $11.96 to current price of $12.67 and you have $24.62. Okay, so I rounded up 38 cents. There you go. As far as DD, read my previous posts. There is quite a bit of info that is still current.
P&P, Thanks for the heads up. Saw it early this morning but I still appreciate your post. Progress since May 4th indicates $25 by Christmas.
Today, Kratos went up .80 cents. It will double that when they announce their first Mako contract and do even better than that when the Valkyrie receives a contract and will do even better than all if they, along with Dynetics, acquire the Phase 3 of the gremlins contract in the first quarter of 2018. This is a buy and hold long term position.

Hey Immortan, check this out. Last days of relatively "low dollar" accumulation are drawing to an end.

Jusr wait for when a new unmanned tactical aircraft contract (MAKO) is announced or for the Q2 earnings report. Both will be major catalyst. Just rockin along waitng for the good times to begin and they are on the way.
Yes, buy as much as you can as soon as you can AND HOLD. JMHO
Last post, this board. Moving on. Staying long term with Kratos defense just leaving this bored.
Hang in there, You'll get use to it.
