Alan Baratz· D-Wave Quantum· Quantum· 2026-07-07· about D-Wave Quantum Inc., Ford Otosan, NTT DOCOMO, Pattison Food Group (QBTS)
“more than 200 million problems have been submitted to its systems, the Advantage2™ system usage grew 314% year over year... Public implementations include manufacturing scheduling with Ford Otosan, network optimization with NTT DOCOMO, and workforce scheduling with Pattison Food Group.”
Why it matters
Concrete evidence of commercial quantum traction beyond research—enterprise customers in manufacturing, telecom, and food logistics are moving quantum from POC to production workflows. This validates near-term revenue runway and reduces quantum computing perception as purely speculative.
Investment implication
Ford, NTT DOCOMO, and Pattison represent tangible enterprise anchors for D-Wave's commercial model. Investors should watch for expansion of these customer relationships and signs of similar enterprise adoption among competitors, which would confirm quantum optimization entering mainstream operations.
