QUBO solutions – a quantum leap for automotive industry

Digital, electrical and autonomous: Automotive manufacturers not only have to react to these requirements with innovative concepts, but also with efficient and economic solutions. We show how they can benefit here from quantum technologies.

An industry in transition

The automotive industry is currently undergoing a profound transformation. Manufacturers have to further develop, indeed practically reinvent cars in many respects. Ambitious climate goals make alternative drive technologies necessary. At the same time, changed customer expectations demand a higher degree of digitalization, coupled also with autonomous driving.This multi-layered transformation involves a great deal of effort and high costs.

That's why manufacturers not only have to come up with innovative ideas on how the car of tomorrow should work. They must also come up with efficient concepts for the development and production of their vehicles that are as cost-effective as possible.

Quantum computing can play a key role in this in the future. Quantum-inspired algorithms already make it possible to simulate complex situations with current standard hardware, thereby solving associated optimization problems. The underlying approach is simple: You do not need to try out what you can calculate. Time and resources can be saved by using this technology. Quantum technologies hold great potential for the automotive industry. So-called QUBO models are particularly relevant here. In the whitepaper, we use three concrete examples to show how automotive manufacturers can benefit from this.

What underlies QUBO

QUBO is the abbreviation for Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization. This involves an approach to solving combinational optimization problems, with which, by contrast with traditional algorithms, the entire model fits into a matrix. This means QUBO models can very quickly master a high degree of complexity and offer a solution for optimization problems – also with the assistance of conventional computers. Another advantage: the model does not have to be translated for use on a quantum computer.
