D-Wave's Upcoming Conference: Qubits Japan 2025

D-Wave Quantum Inc., a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, has announced its first-ever quantum computing user conference called Qubits Japan 2025. Scheduled for September 17 in Tokyo, this conference aims to highlight the rising interest and adoption of annealing quantum computing technology in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Themed "Quantum Realized," Qubits Japan 2025 will feature presentations from D-Wave executives, customers, and industry leaders who will discuss the tangible business value D-Wave’s quantum technologies are delivering today.

The need for this conference arises from a remarkable 83% increase in D-Wave's order volume across the APAC region over the past year. Customers in the region are increasingly exploring and adopting D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing technology to tackle complex challenges in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and business optimization.

Several noteworthy customer cases from the APAC region include:

• - Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT): The pharmaceutical division of JT has partnered with D-Wave to embark on a pilot project utilizing quantum AI for drug discovery. This initiative is a logical progression following the successful completion of a joint proof-of-concept (PoC) project earlier this year, which demonstrated the ability to generate molecular structures with significantly
