Insights
D-Wave's latest announcement demonstrates material commercial traction for their quantum optimization technology with production deployments at major enterprises. The two standout implementations include NTT DOCOMO achieving a
The technical advancement of their hybrid quantum nonlinear solver to support continuous variables with linear interactions significantly expands D-Wave's addressable market. This capability enhancement allows the technology to tackle more complex real-world optimization problems including budget allocation and resource distribution applications that were previously to their constrained quadratic model solver.
Most impressive is the diversification of use cases across industries: telecom network optimization, automotive manufacturing sequencing, financial portfolio optimization, and maintenance/repair operations. Each vertical represents a substantial market opportunity. The engagement with financial institutions like BBVA for portfolio optimization is particularly notable, as financial services typically have high willingness to pay for computational advantages that impact investment returns.
What separates this announcement from typical quantum computing hype is the concrete customer results in production environments. While most quantum computing news focuses on theoretical advantages or future possibilities, D-Wave is demonstrating actual deployed solutions delivering measurable operational improvements today - positioning them favorably in the practical quantum computing landscape.
- Uptick in end users, independent software vendors, system integrators and resellers implementing company’s quantum optimization technology to address complex challenges

“Organizations are increasingly experiencing shortcomings with legacy computing solutions in addressing today’s complex optimization problems,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “This is driving the creation of a new market category—quantum optimization, which leverages the power of quantum computing to address these real-world problems. We’re excited to showcase technical advances and customer success stories at Qubits 2025 that reinforce how we are helping organizations realize the value of quantum today.”
Hybrid Quantum Solver Now Supports Continuous Variables
D-Wave announced today that its hybrid quantum nonlinear (NL) solver now supports continuous variables with linear interactions. This added capability expands the range of real-world problems that the NL solver can address, including support for new use cases such as budget allocation and resource distribution, where decisions impact each other dynamically. Models that previously could only be addressed with the constrained quadratic model (CQM) solver can now also be submitted to the NL solver, marking a major step forward in its ease of use and applicability.
Applying Quantum Optimization to New Use Cases
Based on growing customer demand, D-Wave is expanding its list of quantum optimization use cases, building on previously announced applications including workforce scheduling, production scheduling and logistics routing. By leveraging advanced quantum algorithms, D-Wave is helping customers maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and drive better outcomes in key operational areas. The new use cases include:
- Offer allocation: Companies with rebate programs, incentive plans, and other promotional offers can leverage D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing solutions to strategically distribute offers, balancing budget constraints with historical data insights to achieve higher acceptance rates and a better return on investment.
- Portfolio optimization: Financial institutions can use D-Wave’s quantum optimization technology to refine investment strategies, reduce transaction costs, and maximize returns—all while accounting for constraints like regulatory compliance and risk tolerance.
- Maintenance repair operations (MRO) optimization: D-Wave is exploring the benefits of quantum optimization in MRO logistics, helping businesses minimize the time and cost associated with critical maintenance and repair processes spanning a variety of industries and applications in manufacturing, supply chain and more.
“Improving the process of dynamically optimizing portfolios with changing macroeconomic conditions is a critical yet highly complex challenge,” said Escolástico Sánchez Martínez, head of quantum at BBVA. “We’re exploring the combination of quantum optimization and machine learning to address this, with the goal of identifying more robust portfolios for our clients that balance risk and ultimately increase their returns on investments. This proof-of-concept is being developed with the full support and commitment of BBVA’s CIB Global Markets and BBVA Asset Management’s Asset Allocation and Investment Strategies teams.”
