Key milestones run from a 17-physical-qubit system in 2026 with 2x logical error reduction, through a 181-qubit system in 2028 targeting a 2,000-fold error reduction, to the full fault-tolerant system by 2032.  D-Wave is also targeting a Lambda value of 10 — five times the industry norm — meaning each increment of error correction reduces errors by a factor of 10, not 2.  “Our superconducting dual-rail architecture is a fundamentally different approach to fault-tolerant quantum computing that we expect will position D-Wave not only to compete, but also to redefine how quickly the technology becomes commercial," CEO **Dr. Alan Baratz said.**  **QBTS Stock Price Activity:** D-Wave Quantum stock was up 1.96% at $30.73 at the time of publication on Monday, according to Benzinga Pro. Over the past month, QBTS has gained about 41.2% versus a 4.9% rise in the S&P 500 and is up roughly 17% year-to-date compared to the index’s 10.2% gain. **Read Also: Virgin Galactic Stock Rallies 180% In A Month — Short Sellers Feel The Heat** *Photo courtesy of D-Wave Quantum, Inc.* ### Related Stocks - [QBTS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QBTS.US.md) - [QPUX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QPUX.US.md) - [QBTX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QBTX.US.md) - [QBTZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QBTZ.US.md) - [ARM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARM.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [.SPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.SPX.US.md) - [SPCE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPCE.US.md) - [QBTS+.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QBTS+.US.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) ## Related News & Research - [D-Wave Quantum Stock Rises as BMO Sees 86% Upside for QBTS](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296616220.md) - [D-Wave and NTT DOCOMO expand quantum network optimization](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296223215.md) - [D-Wave Quantum (NASDAQ:QBTS) Stock Price Down 6.4% - Should You Sell?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296271658.md) - [D-Wave Quantum Adds Finance Veteran to Board as QBTS Scales and Faces Big Capital Decisions](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296105321.md) - [D-Wave Quantum appoints Kevan P.
