Canadian pension manager PSP just sold nearly 20 million shares of quantum-computing firm D-Wave. It plans to sell another 20 million.

This is what's happening on Wednesday, as quantum computing investors cheer some kind words from Microsoft's strategic missions and technologies chief, Mitra Azizirad, who last night urged quantum investors to get ready, because "we are right on the cusp of seeing quantum computers solve meaningful problems and capture new business value."

D-Wave Quantum Inc. partners with Carahsoft to distribute quantum computing solutions to Public Sector via reseller network and procurement contracts.
