On certain problems quantum computers can be disruptively faster than classical computers. After decades of research, the first quantum computers are coming onto the market and Fujitsu Digital Annealer – inspired by quantum annealers – is today an ideal platform for the development, testing and first application of quantum optimization algorithms.

To bring this new technology into the field we at Fujitsu co-create new solutions together with our clients. Teaming up with our customer Volkswagen we present how the digital annealer helps to reduce sound emissions for improved driving comfort. Other applications at Volkswagen optimize battery research for electric driving and machine utilization in line production.

In the talk we also give an introduction to the principles and the possibilities of the technology.
