Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 3, 2026, D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave”) and Nasdaq Verafin announced an agreement designed to evaluate the use of quantum computing to improve financial crime detection. The collaboration will begin with the development of a proof-of-concept (PoC), with the potential to expand to pilot applications for key anti-financial crime use cases. The effort will focus on how quantum-hybrid technology may be used to support the development of predictive systems that can identify unusual behavioral patterns associated with fraud, scams, and money laundering.
As part of the agreement, Nasdaq Verafin will explore the use of D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing technology to uncover complex relationships across account activity, transaction patterns, and counterparty networks that conventional approaches may overlook. The initial PoC will use D-Wave’s technology to analyze hundreds of potential data signals in an effort to strengthen predictive models for detecting unusual account behavior.
According to D-Wave’s CEO, Dr. Alan Baratz, by applying D-Wave’s quantum-hybrid technology to machine learning and other application development efforts, Nasdaq Verafin is reinforcing its role as a technology-forward organization helping shape the future of financial services innovation. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Item 7.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
