And this year, the company acquired a startup called Quantum Circuits that spun out of Yale University and has been developing what&#8217;s called a dual-rail qubit (the same technology <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/science\/2025\/02\/amazon-details-its-take-on-quantum-computing-two-types-of-qubits-1-chip\/\">used by Amazon<\/a>), which promises to make most errors very easy to detect, simplifying error correction.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the company is publishing a paper in Nature that describes a key step in validating this dual-rail technology, showing that two of the qubits can be entangled without altering their best feature: Most are a single type that is easy to detect.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/science\/2026\/08\/d-wave-on-rails-company-tests-entanglement-on-its-dual-rail-qubits\/\">Read full article<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/science\/2026\/08\/d-wave-on-rails-company-tests-entanglement-on-its-dual-rail-qubits\/#comments\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href='https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/science\/2026\/08\/d-wave-on-rails-company-tests-entanglement-on-its-dual-rail-qubits\/' target='_blank'>Read the original article on arstechnica.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D-Wave is a bit of an oddity in the quantum computing space, having been founded back in the last century.
