D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software and services, and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, has partnered with NTT DOCOMO Inc., Japan’s largest mobile phone operator, to work on a quantum optimization pilot that resulted in demonstrable mobile network performance improvements. According to the announcement, the project showed a reduction in network signal congestion across base stations, with potential for more efficient signal transmission and equipment cost savings.
For the collaboration, DOCOMO used D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing solutions to reduce congestion at base stations by decreasing paging signals during peak calling times by 15%; the report indicated this could lead to increased efficiencies and lowered infrastructure costs. DOCOMO, which has more than 90 million subscriptions, anticipates deploying the hybrid-quantum solution across its Japanese branch offices in the coming months.
“Telcos are faced with a slew of increasing operational complexities — from 5G implementation to ever-shifting consumer demands — and need novel solutions to maintain a competitive edge,” said D-Wave Quantum CEO Dr. Alan Baratz in the press release. “DOCOMO’s successful pilot sends a clear signal — that today’s quantum technologies are capable of solving telcos’ complex optimization problems, with the potential to elevate customer satisfaction, maintain network performance and mitigate rising infrastructure costs.”
