Explore applications areas

Some of the most profitable product development applications of classical computation are reaching their limits. Quantum approaches can expand the research and development horizon. Areas of interest for our application team include, but are not limited to:
- Computer vision and image recognition
- Materials research
- Natural language processing
- High tech electronics
- Pharmaceuticals
- Human and computer interfaces
- Geo exploration

Quantum modeling approaches have shown promise in both their ability to scale to complex problems and in their prediction accuracy. A variety of application areas have been explored by our applications team, with more in consideration:
- Portfolio balancing and optimization
- Credit and lending models
- Procurement risk and analysis
- Project sequencing

The most complex logistical and sequencing challenges have long represented optimization value opportunities. Quantum solutions are refocusing on capturing this value across the following areas, and more:
- Supply chain management
- Package loading optimization
- Predictive maintenance
- Shipping and logistics
- Fleet management
