TIKR.com reported that D-Wave brought in $4.5 million in third-quarter revenue, beating the $4.34 million expected by analysts after three straight quarterly misses. D-Wave CEO Dr. Alan Baratz stated, "From Seoul to Como to Washington, we are seeing growing interest in D-Wave’s differentiated dual-platform approach and a determination to put our quantum computing technology to work today," as announced in Yahoo Finance. Dr. Baratz also noted, "Our triple-digit increase in year-to-date bookings and robust pipeline reinforce our confidence in the opportunity ahead."
