AT&T has already demonstrated a reduction in processing time for a network optimization workload from roughly one hour to under 15 seconds using D-Wave's annealing quantum technology. Future plans include applying quantum computing to outage detection and response, technician routing, network build planning, and traffic management. AT&T is also evaluating D-Wave's upcoming gate-model systems for quantum security and communications applications, as part of a broader strategy to modernize its converged fiber and 5G network. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
