D-Wave’s Bookings Spike Keeps QBTS in Play, but the Revenue Math Still Has to Catch Up

That leap got a major lift from Florida Atlantic University’s $20 million order for a system, plus a $10 million, two-year quantum computing-as-a-service contract with a Fortune 100 client. Bookings represent customer orders likely to convert into future revenue—they’re not revenue recognized yet.
