Nvidia’s Ising Release Sends D-Wave Quantum Surging

Overview

• D-Wave Quantum shares jumped about 54% for the week after Nvidia unveiled free Ising AI models for quantum work, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data reported by Yahoo Finance.
• Ising provides AI tools to tune qubits and decode errors, and Nvidia says the models fix mistakes up to three times faster than older methods.
• Analysts noted the rally pushed QBTS near its 100-day moving average around $21.77, a level many traders watch for a potential momentum break.
• D-Wave has reported rising demand, with fourth-quarter bookings up roughly 471% and more than $33 million booked year to date.
• The company cites a $20 million Advantage2 sale to Florida Atlantic University, a €10 million contract in Italy, about $635 million in cash, and a broader roadmap after buying Quantum Circuits to add a gate-model capability.
