D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) and North Wales Police (NWP) have successfully completed a groundbreaking proof-of-technology project that demonstrates the superiority of hybrid-quantum computing in optimizing police vehicle placement. The project achieved remarkable results, including a reduction in vehicle coordination time from 4 months to just 4 minutes and a nearly 50% decrease in average incident response times.

The hybrid-quantum application, powered by D-Wave's Leap™ quantum cloud service, enables NWP to respond to 90% of incidents within target response times. The successful project, funded by the UK Policing's National Science and Innovation Board, has garnered attention from the Office of the Chief Scientific Adviser for Policing and shows potential for national deployment.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, announced its participation in three major technology events in September 2025: SEMICON Taiwan, Quantum World Congress, and FintechNation 25.

CEO Dr. Alan Baratz will present at SEMICON Taiwan on September 11, discussing annealing quantum computing applications and AI integration. At Quantum World Congress on September 17, Dr. Andrew King will join a panel on quantum computing advancements. On September 19, Murray Thom will speak at FintechNation 25 about quantum computing in financial services and its potential impact on blockchain energy efficiency.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a pioneer in commercial quantum computing systems, has appointed Stan Black as its new Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Black brings over 20 years of cybersecurity experience from prominent tech companies including Dell/EMC/RSA/VMware, Citrix, Nuance Communications, and Delinea.
