Next-Gen Logistics: How Quantum Computing Powers Smoother Shipping and Fewer Delays
Supply chains are more complex than ever, with companies managing vast networks of suppliers, transportation routes, and inventory systems. Traditional computing methods are reaching their limits, struggling to process massive datasets efficiently. But here, quantum computing can come to the rescue: By integrating live data from IoT-enabled traffic monitoring tools and vehicles, quantum systems have the potential to alter logistics routes based on factors like weather, traffic, and stock availability.
So, can quantum computing solve the supply chain’s toughest challenges?
Welcome to Hammer Down. In this episode, host Mike Bush sits down with Michelle Lampa, who leads Business Development at Pasqal, to explore how quantum computing is poised to transform the supply chain landscape. They discuss how Pasqal’s full-stack quantum approach is already being integrated into enterprise operations and how businesses can prepare for the future of computation.
The main points of conversation:
- The Basics of Quantum Computing – How it differs from classical computing and why it’s critical for solving complex logistical challenges.
- Real-World Applications in Supply Chain – From optimizing shipping routes to forecasting disruptions, quantum computing’s role in logistics is rapidly expanding.
- The Future of Quantum Adoption – Current barriers to entry, cost concerns, and how businesses can start integrating quantum into their operations.
Michelle Lampa leads Business Development at Pasqal, a full-stack quantum computing company headquartered in France. With a background in international business, technology, and supply chain management, she has worked across government, private industry, and logistics, including roles at the Massachusetts Port Authority and Wayfair. Her expertise spans strategic partnerships, supply chain optimization, and emerging technologies, making her a key player in advancing quantum applications in logistics and enterprise solutions.
