Conclusion

In this chapter, we have covered the use cases that quantum computing and Blockchain could deliver within logistics. This is an industry where there are several inefficiencies due to a lack of digitization. As a result, it could be a green field for technology to create value in.

In the case of quantum computing, the major use cases we touched upon are efficient traffic management systems. We discussed the use of quantum computing when connected cars become more common. With today's infrastructure, traffic management can be achieved using telecoms data/geospatial data.

We also touched upon Airbus' attempts to add efficiencies to the aerospace industry. Flight physics can be modelled more accurately using quantum computing than with classical machines. As a result, aerodynamics around the wings of the aircraft can be modeled and fuel efficiencies can be achieved by optimizing flight take-off and landing. In a world being badly hit by climate change, every...
