Scaling Asset Sustainment to Industrial Size: with Advantage
Previous work by GE Research has looked at using quantum computing to do resource and path planning to improve the efficiency of our asset sustainment operations around things like jet engines, wind turbines and medical equipment repairs. The work was meant to be exploratory and our projections showed it taking a few more years before it would be competitive with other approaches. With access to the latest generation of hardware and hybrid algorithms we are beginning to believe that our projections are too conservative and that the time for industrial use of quantum computing has already started.
