Enhancing Transmission Capacity in Wireless Networks with D-Wave’s Quantum Computing System

D-Wave Quantum Inc. has released an open-source demonstration that showcases the capabilities of its Advantage annealing quantum computing system in wireless channel decoding. The demo, available on the Leap real-time quantum cloud service, presents solutions for enhancing transmission capacity in wireless and cellular networks through coordinated multipoint decoding.

With the global number of mobile connections nearing 12 billion, the wireless industry faces increasing complexity. To maintain high-quality service levels while reducing operational costs and power requirements, new solutions are needed. D-Wave’s demonstration highlights how its annealing quantum processing unit (QPU) can enhance transmission performance, particularly in dense urban areas characterized by high noise and heavy loads.

This demonstration represents another example of D-Wave’s efforts to practically apply its quantum and quantum-classical hybrid solutions. The company has recently collaborated with LG U+, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), and Qunova Computing to propel the development of a low-earth-orbit satellite network for 6G connectivity. D-Wave’s quantum technologies can also benefit various telecom-related applications such as employee scheduling, network design, call center routing, and scheduling of service vehicles.

Trevor Lanting, Vice President of Software, Algorithms, and Cloud Services at D-Wave, emphasized the commercialization of quantum technology across industries and its potential to drive operational excellence. In the field of wireless telecommunications, the complexity and numerous variables involved necessitate significant computational power. The demonstration highlights how D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing system can tackle these challenges relative to classical computation, potentially transforming network service providers.

The open-source demo is accessible through a Jupyter notebook on GitHub and the Leap quantum cloud service.
