AT&T Expands Partnership with D-Wave to Integrate Quantum Computing into Enterprise ...

AT&T and D-Wave have expanded their partnership to integrate quantum annealing into network operations, reducing processing time for optimization tasks from nearly one hour to under 15 seconds. AT&T is embedding D-Wave's systems into agentic AI workflows for real-time fault detection, technician dispatch, network planning, and traffic management, while evaluating gate-model quantum systems for future quantum-safe communications.
