The strategic relevance of quantum computing for logistics companies
summary
Deutsche Bahn embeds quantum on its roadmap, runs a small D‑Wave QUBO with real station and train data and concludes target machines would need about 200,000 qubits to scale; a traveling‑salesman style travelling-salesman mapping hits two‑year classical runtimes by ~20 nodes while Germany has ~5,500 stations. Parallel work builds inventory and crypto‑agility processes, follows BSI guidance now (not wait for NIST), runs algorithm tests, and reports small experiments as proof of concept rather than production-ready systems.
