aiqbench analysis

NTT DOCOMO is scaling D-Wave's quantum annealing solutions to solve previously intractable multi-objective optimization problems for its 5G network control plane. By leveraging hybrid solvers on constrained quadratic models, the carrier successfully reconfigured hundreds of base stations in minutes rather than hours, demonstrating a tangible speed advantage over classical computing methods. This production deployment marks a significant step toward practical quantum utility in telecommunications infrastructure by managing complex signaling loads and improving overall network efficiency.

DOCOMO Expands Production Use of D-Wave Quantum Technology

Quantum Zeitgeist4 min read

NTT DOCOMO is expanding production use of solutions leveraging D-Wave’s quantum computing approach, tackling complex network optimization for its 93 million+ subscribers.

NTT DOCOMO, serving 93 million subscriptions across a network of 250,000 base stations, is now applying quantum computing to a challenge that has long stymied the telecommunications industry: simultaneously optimizing paging and location-registration signals. A network segment with just 333 base stations presents 28991 possible configurations, a complexity exceeding the capacity of traditional computing methods. “DOCOMO is showing telecom operators around the world what production quantum adoption looks like: move beyond a single use case and apply…
