Quantum computing companies have been among the highest performing de-SPAC sectors in years. And, SPACs have made a major impact on quantum computing by being the listing and financing mechanism for a large portion of the publicly traded cohort.

But, the market wasn’t always so bullish on quantum.

This week we return to a conversation we had with Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave (NYSE:QBTS) in February 2025.

At the time, Quantum computing stocks had just begun their recent revival and Alan helped break down the ups and downs of the previous years as well as what had changed in the technology.

He shares valuable advice from how D-Wave rolled with the punches in an unfavorable market after closing with DPCM Capital Inc. in 2022, and also how investors should interpret the news of technological advancements coming out the industry.
