D-Wave relocates HQ to Florida, linking quantum ambitions with a university partnership
California quantum computing company D-Wave is relocating its headquarters to Boca Raton, Florida, to establish a new R&D facility at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus while maintaining a Palo Alto presence. The move is expected to create about 100 jobs with salaries above $125,000 and comes with up to $500,000 in relocation incentives; D-Wave will also install a quantum computer at Florida Atlantic University under a $20 million agreement. The decision underscores Florida’s appeal amid California’s business climate debates and broader tech company moves.
