D-Wave Announces First-Ever Qubits Japan 2025 Quantum Computing User Conference

83% increase in bookings for D-Wave鈥檚 annealing quantum computing technology in Asia Pacific region as organizations develop optimization and quantum AI applications

Regional Qubits event to highlight 鈥淨uantum AG真人官方ized鈥� theme through customer success stories, technical roadmap updates, scientific achievements and advancements in quantum AI

PALO ALTO, Calif. & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (鈥淒-Wave鈥� or the 鈥淐ompany鈥�), a leader in quantum computing systems, software and services, today announced that it is hosting its first-ever Qubits Japan 2025 quantum computing user conference in Tokyo on September 17 to support growing interest and adoption of annealing quantum computing technology across the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. Themed 鈥淨uantum AG真人官方ized,鈥� Qubits Japan 2025 will feature presentations from D-Wave executives, customers, and thought leaders that showcase how D-Wave鈥檚 quantum technology is already delivering tangible value today.

The event comes as D-Wave鈥檚 bookings in the APAC region are up 83% over the past 12 months. APAC customers are increasingly exploring, adopting, and using D-Wave鈥檚 annealing quantum computing technology to solve complex challenges spanning artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning and business optimization problems.

D-Wave鈥檚 recent customer highlights in the APAC region includes:

• Japan Tobacco: The pharmaceutical division of Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) has signed a new agreement with D-Wave to facilitate a pilot project related to the companies鈥� joint work in quantum AI drug discovery. The pilot marks the next step toward production deployment based on earlier this year. That proof-of-concept project used quantum computing technology and AI to enable JT to produce novel, more 鈥榙rug-like鈥� molecular structures beyond those found in the training datasets for the quantum-hybrid generative AI system.

• NTT DOCOMO: NTT DOCOMO Inc. (NTT DOCOMO), Japan鈥檚 largest mobile phone operator with over 90 million subscribers, in 2024 that resulted in demonstrable mobile network performance improvements. Using D-Wave鈥檚 annealing quantum computing solutions, NTT 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 lower infrastructure costs. NTT DOCOMO鈥檚 network signal optimization is now available throughout Japan, and the company is exploring new quantum use cases.

• Yonsei University and Incheon Metropolitan City: In June 2025, D-Wave announced a strategic relationship with Yonsei University and Incheon Metropolitan City to accelerate the exploration, adoption and usage of quantum computing in South Korea. Under terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the three organizations intend to work together to advance mutual research and talent development for quantum computing, provide access to D-Wave鈥檚 quantum computing technology, and collaborate on development of use cases in biotechnology, materials science and other areas. In addition, the MOU facilitates the organizations鈥� efforts towards the acquisition of a D-Wave Advantage2鈩� system at the Yonsei University International Campus in Songdo, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon.

鈥淎蝉颈补 鈥� and especially Japan 鈥� is becoming an important epicenter of quantum computing innovation, development and adoption,鈥� said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. 鈥淛apan is the birthplace of the original concept of quantum annealing, first proposed by Hidetoshi Nishimori and Tadashi Kadowaki. Fast forward nearly 30 years, and we鈥檙e seeing first-hand how this powerful technology can address some of business鈥檚 and science鈥檚 most computationally complex problems. We鈥檙e thrilled to bring together the quantum ecosystem for Qubits Japan 2025 to continue fostering this important dialogue in the region.鈥�

Qubits Japan 2025 will feature notable speakers including: Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave; Trevor Lanting, chief development officer of D-Wave; Hidetoshi Nishimori, professor emeritus at the Institute of Science Tokyo; Dr. Masaru Tateno, chief scientific officer (CSO) of Japan Tobacco鈥檚 Pharmaceutical Research Center; Takumi Hattori, data scientist at NTT DOCOMO; and Masayuki Ohzeki, entrepreneur and professor at Tohoku University.
