Open-source example highlights quantum’s
potential to help network providers reduce operational costs and
power requirements; reinforces practical applicability of D-Wave’s
quantum solutions
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing
systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial
supplier of quantum computers, today launched a new open-source
demonstration highlighting how its Advantage™ annealing quantum
computing system can be used to tackle wireless channel decoding.
The demo, available now in the Leap™ real-time quantum cloud
service, identifies solutions for increasing transmission capacity
for wireless and cellular networks using coordinated multipoint
decoding.
According to the GSMA (Global System for Mobile Communications
Association), the number of mobile connections worldwide is
approaching 12 billion, and with that growth comes increased
complexity. The wireless industry requires new solutions to ensure
high-quality levels of service while reducing operational costs and
power requirements. This new application demonstrates how D-Wave’s
annealing quantum processing unit (QPU) can improve transmission
performance (reduced transmission errors), particularly in dense
urban areas characterized by high noise (low signal-to-noise
ratios) and load (large numbers of cellphones per base
station).
This example is the latest of D-Wave’s demonstrations of the
practical applicability of its quantum and quantum-classical hybrid
solutions. Recently, D-Wave announced work with LG U+, the Korea
Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Qunova
Computing to propel the development of a 6G low-earth-orbit
satellite network, through connectivity of ground-to-satellite
links (SGLs) and inter-satellite-links (ISLs). Other
telecom-related applications that can benefit from D-Wave’s quantum
technologies include: employee scheduling for workforce resource
management, network design and expansion planning, call center
routing, scheduling and routing of service vehicles, and more.
“The commercialization of quantum is here, as a wide variety of
companies spanning a diverse set of industries recognize the value
D-Wave’s technology can bring to driving operational excellence,
today,” said Trevor Lanting, vice president of software, algorithms
and cloud services at D-Wave. “In the world of wireless
telecommunications, the high degree of complexity and large number
of variables means a massive amount of computational power is
required to solve challenging problems like increasing transmission
capacity. Our demonstration shows how well our annealing quantum
computing system can tackle challenges of this magnitude relative
to classical computation, which could be transformative to network
service providers.”
This demo runs in a Jupyter notebook, accessible on GitHub as
well as in the Leap quantum cloud service.
