About Quantum Matters: Where Quantum Computing Gets Real
Quantum computing has a “reputation.” To many, it sounds like pure science fiction: a mythical machine that can crack every code, outpace every supercomputer, and solve the world’s biggest problems overnight. But the truth is even more exciting. The Quantum Matters podcast reveals how quantum computing is already transforming the world around us — from automotive manufacturing to retail operations. Created by D-Wave, the world’s first commercial quantum company, each episode unpacks big ideas in plain English and shows where quantum is starting to make a difference today. You’ll hear from researchers, academics, and industry leaders who are walking the talk of applying quantum solutions to their most computationally complex problems. Quantum isn’t “someday.” It’s here. It’s scaling. It’s not afraid of its critics — and it’s creating opportunities faster than most people realize. Don’t get left behind. Follow D-Wave’s Quantum Matters to discover how this once-mythical technology is beginning to change lives, transform industries, and rewrite the future, today.

Inside a recent episode
Paving the Path to Fault-Tolerant Gate-Model Computing
Published 11 Aug 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Right. Well, we've learned a lot in particular about this task of error correction, which is really the thing that's necessary for building fault tolerant gate model machines that can do really hard problems. We both now know some of the shortcuts one can take, the things that make error correction easier. And we've developed better, more stable qubits and better ways of controlling them. And so I think that makes me much more optimistic now about the path forward in terms of scaling these machines and making fault-tolerant systems in the next several years. So let me put this into context for the listeners, which is that If we think about the computers of our everyday lives, you know, like the laptops that we use or our phones, you know, there are computer chips in there that are processors.
