D-Wave Selected for $1.5 Million NSF Grant to Provide Dual-Rail Hardware for Yale-Led Fault-Tolerant ‘ERASE’ Project

Dual-platform quantum hardware supplier D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) has been awarded a $1,566,250 sub-grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). Distributed through the NSF’s National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NQVL) program, the funding positions D-Wave as the primary industrial implementation partner for the Yale University-led project ERASE (Erasure Qubits and Dynamic Circuits for Quantum Advantage). The award moves the ERASE consortium into its formal Phase II lifecycle—supported by a broader $4 million agency allocation over two years—to build out software, compiler, and error-correction layers optimized for fault-tolerant gate-model quantum computing.
