here the $QBTS - Recent Business and Technical Highlights
Announced that Japan's largest mobile phone operator, NTT DOCOMO, is planning production deployment of a hybrid-quantum application, built with D-Wave technology, for optimizing mobile network performance. Using D-Wave's annealing quantum computing solutions, DOCOMO found that it can reduce network signal congestion across base stations, potentially leading to more efficient signal transmission and equipment cost savings.
Announced a new collaboration with Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) to build a proof-of-concept that leverages quantum computing technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in the drug discovery process. The goal of the project is to pioneer a new process for discovering 'first-in-class' pharmaceutical small compounds.
D-Wave has been deemed "awardable" on the US Department of Defense's Tradewinds buying platform, which is designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of emerging technologies. The marketplace will now include D-Wave's annealing quantum computing technology alongside other offerings like Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), data, and analytics capabilities.
Announced the completed calibration of a 4,400 qubit Advantage2 processor, marking a significant development milestone on the path to the commercial release of Advantage2. Compared to the previous Advantage2 prototype with 1,200 qubits, this increased scale features nearly 4x the number of qubits, allowing it to solve much larger problems. Performance benchmarks are consistent with the prototype released earlier this year, including doubled qubit coherence for faster time-to-solution, a 40% increase in energy scale for higher-quality solutions, and increased qubit connectivity from 15-way to 20-way, enabling solutions to larger, more complex problems.
Introduced service-level agreements (SLAs) specifically tailored for Leap™ quantum cloud service customers who are transitioning applications into production. D-Wave is the only quantum computing company providing formal SLAs, and, in doing so, stands behind the high levels of availability, reliability and performance of its Leap cloud service and its ability to support requirements for commercial-grade quantum and hybrid-quantum applications as customers move into production deployments.
Continued to make rapid progress on exploring generative AI architectures that directly use quantum processing unit (QPU) samples from quantum distributions to facilitate faster and more energy-efficient model training and inference. We have completed the initial designs of transformer and diffusion architectures and are moving toward benchmarking the role of the QPU. We are also directly supporting several customers investigating restricted Boltzmann machine architectures, a canonical machine learning approach for generative AI, that use samples from the QPU.
Released new benchmarking vignettes showcasing the performance of the nonlinear hybrid quantum solver on two problems common to customers - flow shop scheduling/production scheduling and quadratic assignment/resource allocation. In addition, we improved the performance of the nonlinear hybrid quantum solver, solving a capacitated vehicle routing problem, for example, in one-fifth of the time.
Continued to see expanding interest from national security and civilian agencies around near-term quantum applications, highlighted by a US Department of Defense RFI asking for near-term application identification, as well as increased discussions relating to optimization of emergency response, transportation and other public sector services in the US and abroad. This increased activity showcases governments' interest in better understanding how annealing quantum computing can play a pivotal role in solving public sector problems today.
Announced a strategic partnership with Staque, designed to accelerate the commercial adoption of annealing quantum computing across the Middle East. The partnership was revealed at the first-ever Qubits UAE event in Dubai, a half-day version of D-Wave's annual Qubits user conference, which showcased "success powered by quantum" through business optimization use cases, progress in quantum-fueled AI technology, and demonstrations of annealing quantum computing performance over classical computing.
Announced that D-Wave has joined the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE) as a corporate partner, aiming to engage with the CQE community on materials science research, quantum education, and the development of practical optimization use cases, including for the manufacturing and logistics industries.
Continued ongoing progress executing the company's aggressive go-to-market (GTM) growth strategy, most notably launching the quantum optimization market category with a robust collection of website content and assets that showcase key use cases including workforce scheduling, vehicle routing, production scheduling, resource optimization, and cargo loading. In addition, recent work on our systems in the area of materials simulation has opened up new GTM efforts with research and government customers.
Announced the expansion of the D-Wave executive leadership bench with the addition of Sophie Ames as chief human resources officer as well as the addition of two new board members, John DiLullo and Rohit Ghai. The moves are designed to help facilitate D-Wave's next phase of growth as it continues to usher in the era of commercial quantum computing.
Customers: In comparing the most recent four quarters with the immediately preceding four quarters, D-Wave had:
A total of 132 customers compared with a total of 125 customers;
76 commercial customers compared with 75 commercial customers; and
27 Forbes Global 2000 customers compared with 26 Forbes Global 2000 customers constituting 36% of the total number of commercial customers.
DON'T FORGET - STOCK MARKETS OFTEN ONLY TRADES THE FUTURE, which is why $QBTS and other Quantum shares are still at the very beginning of a huge increase
