# D-Wave demonstrates scalable on-chip cryogenic control of gate-model qubits, milestone for commercial quantum computing

## Summary
- First industry milestone: on-chip cryogenic control reduces wiring for qubit control without degrading fidelity, enabling scalable gate-model QPUs.
- Technology validated from D-Wave's annealing QPUs; multichip package integrates fluxonium qubit chip with control chip built at NASA JPL.
- D-Wave believes this positions it to deliver the industry's first scalable, commercial-grade gate-model quantum system.
- Over 60% of D-Wave's patents span both annealing and gate-model tech; company has 20+ years in superconducting quantum computing.
