For QTC 2021, our team addressed the problem of optimally resupplying multiple distributed force elements from a central depot using unmanned ground vehicles. As the number of vehicles, force elements and parcels increase, the computational challenge of this logistic optimization problem grows to a point where quantum computers are expected to show advantage.
We are working to bring the threshold of quantum advantage closer via a combination of algorithmic design and hardware-performance augmentation. We will offer a resource-efficient algorithmic encoding and stabilized quantum computer hardware using quantum control infrastructure software. The net result of this combined approach is a major expansion in the capability of quantum computing hardware for defense-critical missions.
