D-Wave announced AT&T will expand use of its quantum computing technology to address complex network optimization challenges.

Key Highlights:

AT&T signed an agreement to expand use of D-Wave’s quantum technology across network operations to tackle complex optimization problems.
Initial focus is layering D-Wave’s annealing tech into AT&T’s agentic AI tools, which reduced customer downtime by 12M hours in 2025.
In early work, AT&T cut a network optimization workload from ~1 hour to under 15 seconds using D-Wave’s technology.
AT&T will evaluate D-Wave’s forthcoming gate-model systems for potential quantum security and quantum communications uses.
The collaboration aligns with AT&T’s broader strategy to modernize its network using quantum, AI, automation, analytics and software-defined infrastructure.
