D-Wave Quantum Inc., a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, is set to showcase real-world applications of its technology at Q2B24 Silicon Valley. The company’s vice president of quantum technology evangelism, Murray Thom, will discuss how D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing solutions are being used by businesses today to solve complex optimization problems.
These solutions have already led to significant improvements in areas such as workforce scheduling, mobile network performance, and manufacturing processes. For example, Pattison Food Group has seen an 80% reduction in the effort needed to create retail workforce schedules, while Ford Otosan has achieved an 83% reduction in the time needed to create manufacturing production schedules.
NTT Docomo has also experienced a 15% improvement in the utilization of mobile network resources. Thom will highlight these successes and explain why quantum computing technology is necessary to tackle today’s complex optimization business problems.
Quantum Computing Applications in Action: Real-World Solutions for Complex Optimization Problems
D-Wave Quantum Inc., a pioneer in quantum computing systems, software, and services, is set to showcase the transformative power of quantum optimization at Q2B24 Silicon Valley. The company will highlight its annealing quantum computing solutions, which have already demonstrated significant impact on various businesses.
One key application of D-Wave’s quantum computing technology is workforce scheduling. For instance, Pattison Food Group, the largest purveyor of food and healthcare products in western Canada, has seen an 80% reduction in the effort needed to create retail workforce schedules using D-Wave’s solutions. This significant reduction in effort translates to substantial cost savings and improved operational efficiency for the company.
Another area where D-Wave’s quantum computing technology has shown promise is in manufacturing production scheduling. Ford Otosan, a joint venture between Ford Motor Company and Koç Holding, an industrial conglomerate in Turkey, has achieved an 83% reduction in the time needed to create manufacturing production schedules using D-Wave’s solutions. This reduction in time enables companies like Ford Otosan to respond more quickly to changing market conditions and improve their overall competitiveness.
The Power of Annealing Quantum Computing for Optimization Problems
Annealing quantum computers, like those developed by D-Wave, have been shown to demonstrate a speed-up over classical computers alone for optimization-related problems. This is because annealing quantum computers are particularly well-suited to solving complex optimization problems, which are ubiquitous in many industries.
Murray Thom, D-Wave’s vice president of quantum technology evangelism, will discuss the evolution of quantum applications moving from proof of concept to production deployment at Q2B24 Silicon Valley. Thom will highlight the measurable impact that D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing solutions are creating for customers today, including improved mobile network performance and manufacturing processes.
Real-World Impact of Quantum Computing on Businesses
The real-world impact of quantum computing on businesses cannot be overstated. By leveraging the greater computational power of quantum computing technology, companies can solve complex optimization problems more efficiently and effectively than with classical computers alone. This enables businesses to respond more quickly to changing market conditions, improve their operational efficiency, and reduce costs.
For instance, NTT Docomo, Japan’s largest mobile phone operator, has seen a 15% improvement in the utilization of mobile network resources using D-Wave’s quantum computing solutions. This improvement in resource utilization translates to improved service quality for customers and increased revenue potential for the company.
The Future of Quantum Computing: Unlocking Value for Businesses and Society
D-Wave’s mission is to unlock the power of quantum computing today to benefit business and society. The company is working towards delivering customer value with practical quantum applications for problems as diverse as logistics, artificial intelligence, materials sciences, drug discovery, scheduling, cybersecurity, fault detection, and financial modeling.
As the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, D-Wave has already worked with some of the most advanced organizations globally, including Mastercard, Deloitte, Davidson Technologies, ArcelorMittal, Siemens Healthineers, Unisys, NEC Corporation, Pattison Food Group Ltd., DENSO, Lockheed Martin, Forschungszentrum Jülich, University of Southern California, and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
