Quantum-enhanced optimisation is primarily applied in the fields of artificial intelligence, big data and smart data, as well as industry and Industry 4.0. The term describes a special method for solving very complex problems faster and better – with the help of quantum computers. In contrast to conventional computers, which try out different solutions sequentially, quantum computers can consider many possibilities simultaneously.
This is particularly useful when it comes to analysing large datasets or deploying machinery in a factory as efficiently as possible. A clear example: In a large factory, machines, employees and raw materials are to be allocated so that everything runs smoothly and without loss of time. The number of possible combinations is huge. Thanks to quantum-enhanced optimisation, the best process can be found much faster than with normal computers.
For companies, this means an advantage because they can save time, energy, and costs. Quantum-enhanced optimisation opens up new possibilities for efficiently mastering complex tasks in industry, data analysis, or even in traffic and energy management.
