Business-activity disclosure
D-Wave develops quantum-computing systems and cloud access. The technology business is generally permissible, while government, defense and dual-use end-use allocation requires qualitative review.
Limitation: The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-activity numerator across customers, contracts and end uses.
Purification
D-Wave discloses $5.785 million of investment income but does not provide a scholar-approved purification percentage or complete prohibited-activity numerator.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from D-Wave Quantum's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Interest-bearing debt is $35.423 million of long-term debt, $0.140 million of current debt and $11.257 million of operating-lease liabilities.
- Cash is $338.197 million and current available-for-sale debt securities are $250.200 million; accounts receivable are $8.911 million.
- Quarterly revenue is $2.858 million and disclosed investment income is $5.785 million, or 202.41% of quarterly revenue.
- Quantum-computing technology is generally permissible at the activity level, but the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-activity numerator across government, defense and commercial end uses.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
