Senior vice president of finance Greg Golkov will become acting CFO and principal financial and accounting officer. Golkov brings more than 25 years of finance and accounting experience and has led D-Wave’s accounting, SEC reporting, FP&A, treasury, and tax functions since May 2023.
D-Wave Quantum (NASDAQ: QBTS)/b) and announced deployment of DOCOMO’s second production application powered by D-Wave’s quantum technology for mobile network operations. The new tool optimizes tracking area list (TA-List) groupings to reduce signaling load while maintaining connectivity.
According to D-Wave, the application cut the daily peak volume of location registration signals by 65.3% and lowered paging signals by 7.0%. In a representative case involving 333 base stations, three TA-Lists and nine tracking areas, it completed optimization in about five minutes, with results used in DOCOMO’s network planning and day-to-day operations.
D-Wave Quantum (NASDAQ: QBTS) appointed veteran technology finance executive Kevan P. Krysler to its Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Krysler is currently CFO of Carbon Robotics and previously held senior finance and accounting leadership roles at Everpure, VMware and KPMG, bringing extensive public-company reporting, global finance, growth strategy and risk management experience to D-Wave.
D-Wave Quantum (NASDAQ: QBTS) received up to CAD $300,000 in funding from the National Research Council of Canada’s Applied Quantum Computing Challenge program to advance annealing quantum computing software for commercial use. The work will be led from D-Wave’s Quantum Centre of Engineering Excellence in Burnaby, British Columbia.
The project will develop new graph minor-embedding algorithms for D-Wave’s Zephyr topology and integrate them into its open-source Ocean software development kit.
