D-Wave To Host Qubits Asia 2026 In Seoul On Oct 28

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 (Bernama) -- D-Wave Quantum Inc (D-Wave), a quantum computing company providing both annealing and gate-model systems, software and services, will host Qubits Asia 2026: Quantum Realized, a full-day quantum computing user conference, on Oct 28 in Seoul.

Focused on the growing impact of quantum computing across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, the event will spotlight production applications addressing complex business challenges and research advancing scientific discovery, as well as the latest developments in D-Wave’s annealing and gate-model technologies.

D-Wave in a statement said the conference will bring together its executives, customers, researchers and industry leaders to share lessons from real-world implementations, exchange best practices and explore opportunities to accelerate quantum computing adoption across APAC.

“Countries including Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan are moving decisively to establish global leadership in quantum computing, and D-Wave is helping turn that ambition into measurable results today.

“Qubits Asia will demonstrate what leadership looks like in practice by bringing together customers, researchers and industry leaders to accelerate commercial adoption, advance scientific discovery and expand the impact of quantum computing across the region,” said D-Wave Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dr Alan Baratz.

Qubits Asia 2026 comes amid continued momentum for D-Wave across APAC, marked by growing customer adoption, strategic collaborations and commercial and research initiatives spanning network optimisation, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, materials science, and semiconductor manufacturing as well as port operations.

Conference highlights include D-Wave CEO Dr Baratz and Chief Development Officer Dr Trevor Lanting sharing updates on the company’s annealing and gate-model quantum computing technologies, commercial applications and advances in quantum AI.

In addition, NTT DOCOMO researcher Shuichi Fukuda will discuss the Japanese mobile operator’s two D-Wave-powered quantum computing applications now operating in production and the resulting improvements in network efficiency and performance, while LG CNS Consulting Manager Wanki Cho will discuss the use of D-Wave technology to enhance 3D CT imaging for manufacturing inspections.
