Learn the Truth: The Unwinding of D-Wave’s Business

D-Wave’s commercial model is coming undone… fast. Exaggerated claims about their AI capabilities or “mystery deals” cannot save it. 
If you have an interest in quantum computing (either as an investor or enthusiast), you’ll want to read our findings. Be the first to know what’s coming, before everyone else. 

We expect the D-Wave story to collapse in the next 90 days, and are SHORT D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS).

Why Coherence Report? Technical Depth, Commercial Fluency, and Zero Agenda

The technology, explained plainly

We walk you through what quantum hardware, software, and hybrid architectures actually do — what’s production-ready, what’s still theoretical, and what the performance claims mean (and don’t mean) in practice.

Commercial reality, not projections

We evaluate go-to-market strategy and revenue viability with the same rigor we’d apply inside a company. Which business models have traction today? Where are the genuine revenue opportunities? Where are the timelines being stretched past what the science supports?

Perspective you won’t find in a report

The public information on quantum computing is largely written for retail investors, generated for clicks, or produced by companies marketing their own capabilities. We provide analysis built on years of industry tracking, first-hand operating experience, and a genuine technical foundation.

Explaining Why D-Wave’s Quantum AI Play Is a Dead End

Summary: Coherence Report examines D-Wave’s Quantum AI claims and explains why the company’s AI story appears to rely on limited proof-of-concept work rather than a scalable commercial model.

Why It Matters: Investors need to separate real quantum computing progress from marketing narratives, especially when AI is being used to support valuation and growth expectations.

Ising Is an AI Copilot, Not Quantum AI

Summary: Coherence Report breaks down the difference between using AI to support quantum workflows and claiming that the system itself represents a true Quantum AI breakthrough.

Why It Matters: Clear technical language matters because vague AI and quantum claims can mislead investors about what a product actually does and how defensible it really is.
