Uncapping the Potential of Quantum Computing Towards Manufacturing Optimization

Bhupinder Singh, Pushan Kumar Dutta, Ritu Gautam +1 more

The disruptive impact of quantum computing presents an opportunity to rethink the optimization of industrial processes, especially in the complex supply chain. The need to reduce environmental effects is driving a paradigm change in the industrial sector towards sustainability. As the world struggles associated with sustainable development, the manufacturing industry is leading the charge in pursuing efficiency and environmentally responsible methods. The revolutionary potential of quantum computing to revolutionize factory optimization, especially in the supply chain, is examined. Quantum computing promises to solve challenging logistical challenges by utilizing the laws of quantum physics. The use of quantum computing in factory optimization offers enormous potential for a more environmentally friendly and sustainable future as it develops. So, accepting the quantum leap in technology may help the industrial sector reach previously unheard-of levels of productivity while reducing its environmental impact and advancing global sustainability.

Accelerating the drive towards energy-efficient generative AI with quantum computing algorithms

Frederik F. Flöther, Jan Mikolon, Maria Longobardi

Abstract Research and usage of artificial intelligence, particularly generative and large language models, have rapidly progressed over the last years. This has, however, given rise to issues due to high energy consumption. While quantum computing is not (yet) mainstream, its intersection with machine learning is especially promising, and the technology could alleviate some of these energy challenges. In this perspective article, we break down the lifecycle stages of large language models and discuss relevant enhancements based on quantum algorithms that may aid energy efficiency and sustainability, including industry application examples and open research problems.

Sustainable Quantum Computing

Nivedita Arora, Prem Kumar

While researchers in both industry and academia are racing to build quantum computing (QC) platforms with viable performance and functionality, the environmental impacts of this endeavor, such as its carbon footprint, e-waste generation, mineral use, and water and energy consumption, remain largely unknown. A similar oversight occurred during the semiconductor revolution and continues to have disastrous consequences for the health of our planet. As we build the quantum computing stack from the ground up, it is crucial to comprehensively assess it through an environmental sustainability lens for its entire lifecycle: production, use, and disposal. In this article, we highlight the need and challenges in establishing a QC sustainability benchmark that enables researchers to make informed architectural design decisions and celebrate the potential “quantum climate advantage.” We propose a carbon-aware quantum computing (CQC) framework that provides the foundational methodology and open research questions in calculating the total life-cycle carbon footprint of a QC platform. Our call to action to the research community is the establishment of a new research direction known as sustainable quantum computing (SQC) that promotes quantum computing for both sustainability-oriented applications and the sustainability of quantum computing itself.
