Facing the Future: A Discussion and Reality Check on Quantum Computing Applications
summary
Panel describes a concrete QC mobility MARteam pilot that models lock scheduling for a narrow canal, formalizes it as an optimization problem, implements a first software implemented classical baseline using CPLEX, and then selects candidate quantum algorithms for a hybrid quantum-classical decomposition approach. Teams simplify placement and objective functions (e.g., minimize maximum ship delay), run classical validations before quantum runs, aim for cloud orchestration and tool integration, and report the project is live with initial results but not yet showing a production quantum speedup.
