The Key to Operational Excellence in Today’s Business
Quantum Optimization
Quantum computing has emerged as a more efficient way to tackle intricate problems without the need for specialized skills or heavy investments in new hardware. With cloud-based access to quantum resources, businesses can harness this technology to enhance operational efficiencies.
Quantum optimization excels in solving complex combinatorial challenges, making it ideal for industries that frequently deal with scenarios where small changes have widespread impact. Its applications are expanding, from improving delivery logistics and workforce management to optimizing telecommunication networks and cargo operations, all contributing to increased profitability, productivity, and sustainability.
How Businesses View the Quantum Optimization Opportunity
Quantum optimization is increasingly viewed as a contributor to competitive advantage, according to a 2024 D-Wave-commissioned Hyperion Research study of companies in the U.S. and Europe currently exploring quantum technology.
Over 20% of respondents plan to implement production-level quantum computing solutions within the next 12-18 months, marking a 50% increase over the past two years. Most of the businesses surveyed reported they expect up to 20x ROI from quantum optimization investments.
"Those who proactively embrace this technology and invest in optimization efforts stand to reap significant rewards. The anticipated gains and ROI projections paint a compelling picture of a possible near-term future where quantum computing becomes a fundamental driver of business success."
— Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave
Quantum Optimization Can Help Your Business Today
Quantum optimization enhances productivity and satisfaction in workforce scheduling, improves space and weight management in port and freight operations, and optimizes resource allocation for managing equipment assets. It also boosts manufacturing efficiency by increasing throughput and reducing delays, while enabling more efficient multi-vehicle routing for evacuations, deliveries, and tours.
Workforce Scheduling
Boost productivity and employee satisfaction in large or 24/7 operations and efficiently manage complex variables and constraints, enabling organizations to meet employee needs and swiftly adapt to changes.
Production Scheduling
Sequence a build schedule to ensure resources are used efficiently and products are completed on time. Better manage complex dependencies between sequences and resources to enhance yields in capital-intensive production lines.
Logistics Routing
Balance route and schedule efficiency for delivery trucks, public transportation, and tour vehicles. Slash travel time and fuel consumption by managing complex logistics scenarios with ease.
Resource Optimization
Improve asset planning and allocation for industries like energy, defense, and telecommunications. Boost productivity and minimize downtime by efficiently managing complex resource allocation demands.
Cargo Loading
Optimize cargo loading on ships, planes, trucks, or rail cars. Enhance space and weight management by effectively handling complex variables like priorities and regulations.
Additional Use Cases
Explore additional quantum optimization use cases that can impact a wide range of businesses and industries today.
