D-Wave Quantum and NTT DOCOMO have implemented a second quantum application in live operation that optimizes tracking-area lists and, according to the companies, reduces location-registration signals at daily peaks by 65.3% and paging signals by 7.0%. A representative test case with 333 base stations produced results in roughly five minutes, which have already been adopted in DOCOMO's network planning and daily operations. Market reaction to the announcement was muted, but analyst consensus still rates the stock as "Strong Buy." » Altro su finanzen.net

The National Research Council of Canada will provide D-Wave Quantum with up to 300,000 Canadian dollars to develop graph-minor embedding algorithms for the Zephyr topology of the Advantage2 systems and integrate them into the open-source Ocean toolkit. The aim is to create software that makes larger and more complex optimization problems solvable on commercial annealing quantum computers and to strengthen the Canadian quantum ecosystem. Whether the development will lead to new customer projects and noticeable revenue effects will likely only become apparent in upcoming quarterly reports; analysts, despite lowered price targets, mostly issue buy recommendations. » Altro su finanzen.net
