Briefings

D-Wave has installed its Advantage2 annealing quantum computer at Villa Saporiti in Como, Lombardy, Italy, funded by a €10 million agreement with Swiss Quantum Technology SA. The VoltaB1 system features over 4,400 qubits and will be accessible via D-Wave's Leap quantum cloud service. The installation is scheduled for October 16, 2026, at a ceremony marking the bicentennial of Alessandro Volta's death. This marks Italy's first production-grade annealing quantum computer, intended to support industrial optimization and materials simulation.

Key points
