# D-Wave Quantum Stock Jumps on Major AT&T Deal Expansion

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) shares surged about 10% on Monday after the company broadened its work with AT&T, which plans to expand the use of D-Wave's quantum computing technology to improve network operations.

Under the agreement, AT&T will incorporate D-Wave's annealing quantum computing into tools supporting its agentic artificial intelligence systems. Financial terms and the duration of the agreement were not disclosed.

D-Wave said its technology previously helped AT&T reduce customer downtime by 12 million hours during 2025 through improved network management and outage detection. In an initial deployment, D-Wave also reduced the processing time for a network optimization task from about one hour to less than 15 seconds.

AT&T now expects to assess D-Wave's quantum technology across a broader range of network applications. Those include outage response, technician routing, network infrastructure planning, and traffic management. The expanded relationship could further integrate D-Wave's quantum computing capabilities into AT&T's AI-driven network operations as the telecom company evaluates additional operational use cases.
