Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 20, 2024, D-Wave Quantum Inc. (“D-Wave”) and NTT DOCOMO Inc. (“DOCOMO”), Japan’s largest mobile phone operator with over 90 million subscriptions, announced a quantum optimization pilot that resulted in demonstrable mobile network performance improvements. Using D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing solutions, DOCOMO found that it can reduce congestion at base stations by decreasing paging signals during peak calling times by 15%, potentially leading to increased efficiencies and lowered infrastructure costs. DOCOMO plans to deploy the hybrid-quantum solution in production across its Japanese branch offices in the coming months. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Item 7.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
