Dear D-Wave Quantum Fans, Mark Your Calendars for November 17

While the stock market seems enraptured with artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors, the next great thing is just around the corner. Quantum computing provides a significant leap forward in processing power, and there are several companies lining up to bring it to fruition.

Quantum computing is different from classical computing because it uses quantum bits, or qubits, that exist simultaneously in multiple states and can handle complex calculations much faster—as traditional computers solve problems step by step, quantum computers can do many things at once.
