Planning and scheduling are key steps for many critical\napplications such as logistics, air traffic control, industrial automation,\nresource allocation and disaster recovery assistance to name a few. Computational\nintricacy and processing times increase exponentially as a problem\u2019s complexity\nincreases. In other words, the scalability of classical systems has been a\nroadblock in tackling these problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quantum computing can change that. This project aims to\ndemonstrate the scalability potential of a quantum approach to solving these\ntypes of problems, which can be directly applied to Thales\u2019 operations. Based\non a 100+ qubit platform which provides high connectivity and performance,\nPASQAL\u2019s quantum processors can efficiently address large scale problems that are\nsimply out of reach of classical computing systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project is supported by the PAck Quantique program\n(PAQ), an initiative launched in 2020 by the Paris Regional Authority, GENCI\nand Le Lab Quantique. The initiative aims to accelerate the development of the\nquantum technologies industry in greater Paris and create synergies between\nindustrial groups and start-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program is intended to bolster the leadership of Paris\nand France in the field of quantum computing and improve the competitiveness of\nFrench stakeholders in the industry at an international level. The program also\naims at highlighting the Parisian hub\u2019s dynamism and attractiveness to\nencourage new companies to join the ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThales is fully committed to developing quantum\ntechnologies, in particular for quantum sensors and quantum communications,\nthat will provide a real breakthrough for many Thales\u2019 sectors of activity. The\npartnership with PASQAL, GENCI and the Paris Regional Authority gives us the opportunity\nto explore yet another important facet of quantum: quantum computing. Of particular\nimportance is that, together we will be able to design and solve optimization\nproblems related to real use cases of high importance for our customers, such\nas air traffic optimization or space mission scheduling to name a few.\u201d Bernhard Quendt, SVP Group Chief Technical\nOfficer, Thales<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to work on concrete applications with a\nmajor technological player such as Thales. The techniques we will develop\nthrough this collaboration will be useful for various fields relevant to\nThales\u2019 operational activities. Creating value for end-users is a main focus\nfor PASQAL. We continue to develop our technology, both hardware and software,\nto best answer the needs of our partners and solve any bottlenecks or problems\nwe can for them. We are working hand in hand with our partners: Thales, GENCI\nand the Paris Regional Authority to build a leading Quantum industry in the\narea.\u201d Georges-Olivier Reymond, CEO of PASQAL <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTogether with Le Lab Quantique, GENCI and the Paris\nRegional Authority launched the Pack Quantique (PAQ) to enable industries and\nstartups on their journey to growth in the quantum computing industry. AQUAPS\nrepresents the joint effort between Thales Research & Technology and PASQAL\nexperts to \u201cquantumize\u201d TRT scheduling use cases. This is the 4th project since\nthe launch of the initiative. Through Paris Region\u2019s funding and GENCI\u2019s free\naccess to the future Pan-European Hybrid HPC\/Quantum Infrastructure, this very\nchallenging project will enable both Thales and PASQAL to assess the\nscalability of the designed algorithm\u201d.
