D-Wave Quantum Inc. filed an 8-K describing a completed proof-of-technology project with North Wales Police that used a hybrid-quantum application to optimize deployment of police vehicles for emergency response. The hybrid-quantum solution, accessed through D-Wave’s LeapTM cloud service, delivered faster, more accurate, and more efficient results than classical methods.
According to the filing, the new application cut police vehicle coordination time from four months to four minutes and enabled North Wales Police to reduce average incident response time by nearly 50%. The test also showed the force could respond to at least 90% of incidents within its target response time using the hybrid-quantum approach. The details were disclosed via a press release attached as an exhibit.
D-Wave is hosting its first Qubits Japan 2025 user conference in Tokyo on September 17, themed "Quantum Realized", to showcase commercial uses of its annealing quantum computing technology. The company reports APAC bookings are up 83% over the past 12 months, and highlights customers exploring AI/ML and optimization solutions. Noted APAC engagements include a pilot with Japan Tobacco Inc. on quantum AI drug discovery, an optimization pilot completed by NTT DOCOMO Inc., and a strategic relationship with Yonsei University and Incheon Metropolitan City to support efforts to acquire a D-Wave Advantage2™ system. A press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
