Supply chain and logistics operations are under constant strain as networks grow more complex and customer expectations continue to rise. Teams are facing challenges that push traditional optimization methods to their limits.

Murray Thom, vice president of quantum technology evangelism at D-Wave, presents a masterclass and demo to show attendees how to realize value from quantum computing today. Thom will share insights from commercial projects—including AT&T, BASF, and Pfizer—showing how D-Wave's powerful, energy-efficient quantum computers deliver measurable business value today.
