Quantum Computing for Materials & Process Optimisation
Quantum algorithms for materials discovery and complex process optimisation.
Hybrid classical-quantum pilots are showing early promise for narrowly scoped materials-discovery and scheduling-optimisation problems — not yet a general-purpose industrial tool.
Quantum Computing across other industries
Quantum and hybrid algorithms applied to narrow, high-value optimisation and simulation problems.
