Quantum Computing in the Automotive Industry: Trends, Applications, and Benchmarks

Quantum Computing (QC) offers many opportunities for solving complex optimization, simulation, and machine-learning tasks within the automotive sector. This talk explores the intersection of quantum computing (QC) and the automotive industry. We highlight current trends, applications, and the development of benchmarks for assessing QC solutions. We emphasize the importance of identifying industry-specific challenges across the automotive value chain that QC can address. Furthermore, we discuss application-level benchmarks to evaluate the performance and practicality of quantum algorithms for these challenges.
