Impact/context

Integrating quantum algorithms with logistics optimisation has the potential to redefine how goods are delivered, directly contributing to more sustainable transport systems and lower carbon emissions, thereby supporting the advancement of sustainable cities and transport infrastructures. For instance, flight path optimisation is a critical area where innovative technologies can significantly reduce fuel consumption and, consequently, emissions. By improving the efficiency of flight operations through advanced computing technologies, the aerospace industry can make substantial progress towards sustainability and carbon neutrality.

How quantum could help

In aerospace, harnessing the computational prowess of quantum technology to streamline flight paths could eventually become a key driver in reducing the environmental impact of air travel, propelling the industry towards the achievement of carbon neutrality.
