Dubai-based global logistics company DP World, UAE has ushered in a new age of technological integration through its association with Canadian quantum computing company, D-Wave.
DP World is all set to explore the power of Quantum Computing in the logistics and trade industry by engaging with D-Wave and other quantum computing leaders across the globe. With this collaboration, the logistics giant will be among an elite list of top organizations which are exploring the possibilities of Quantum Computing technology to boost business and optimize supply chains.
DP World – UAE has conducted several intensive and focused Quantum Computing training sessions, including actual exercises and the use of Quantum Computing coding. The firm has decided to use the technology in its industrial logistics, fleet, and traffic management segments.
Quantum computers offer supreme parallel performance, compared to classical computers in certain applications by providing exponential processing power to solve complex problems.
The use of Quantum Computing will push the boundaries of digital transformation within DP World, UAE Region while starting a new phase of quantum transformation to process and solve complex computations.
