  • How Quantum Computing Is Revolutionizing Logistics and Fleet Routing

    How Quantum Computing Is Revolutionizing Logistics and Fleet Routing
    2026/07/20
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how quantum computing is tackling one of the most computationally expensive problems in logistics: vehicle routing. They dive into a real-world pilot by DHL, which used a quantum-inspired algorithm from D-Wave Systems to optimize delivery routes for a fleet of 25 trucks in Berlin. The result? A 12% reduction in total distance traveled and a 9% drop in fuel costs, without any new hardware or drivers. The hosts break down why classical computers struggle with 'combinatorial explosion' as fleet sizes grow, and how quantum annealing can explore millions of route permutations simultaneously. They also discuss the limitations — current quantum hardware still has too few qubits to handle nationwide fleets, and hybrid classical-quantum approaches are the bridge for now. The episode closes with a look at what needs to happen for quantum logistics to scale: better error correction, more qubits, and tighter integration with existing supply-chain software. If you work in operations, supply chain, or logistics tech, this is the edge case to watch. #QuantumComputing #Logistics #FleetRouting #DHL #DWave #QuantumAnnealing #SupplyChain #Optimization #Berlin #LastMileDelivery #CombatorialExplosion #HybridQuantum #VehicleRoutingProblem #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EmergingTech #QuantumBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Quantum Computing Is Simulating Battery Electrolytes

    How Quantum Computing Is Simulating Battery Electrolytes
    2026/07/19
    Episode 121 of Quantum Computing Business with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna dive into a specific application: using quantum computers to simulate electrolytes for next-generation batteries. They focus on a 2024 study by researchers at IBM and Daimler that used a 7-qubit quantum processor to model lithium-ion electrolyte molecules — a task classical computers struggle with due to quantum entanglement in the solvent. Lucas explains why electrolyte simulation matters for battery energy density and safety, referencing the 2025 joint venture between Volkswagen and IonQ to simulate solid-state battery materials. Luna presses on the timeline to practical advantage: current noisy devices can handle only tiny molecules (like LiBF4), but error-corrected machines could simulate full electrolyte systems by 2030. The hosts also touch on how quantum Monte Carlo methods are being used to benchmark results against classical approximations. No hype, just a grounded look at one narrow but critical materials-science problem. #QuantumComputing #BatteryResearch #Electrolytes #MaterialsScience #IBM #Daimler #Volkswagen #IonQ #LiBF4 #QuantumChemistry #ErrorCorrection #SolidStateBatteries #EnergyStorage #ClassicalBenchmarks #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #QuantumSimulation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Quantum Computing Is Uncovering Financial Fraud in Real Time

    How Quantum Computing Is Uncovering Financial Fraud in Real Time
    2026/07/18
    Fraud detection is a trillion-dollar game of cat and mouse. In episode 118 of Quantum Computing Business with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into how quantum machine learning is starting to spot patterns that classical systems miss — and why JPMorgan Chase and others are already running quantum models on live transaction data. They walk through a specific use case from fraud analytics startup IonQ’s partnership with a European bank: flagging synthetic identity fraud using quantum kernel methods. Lucas explains the key advantage — quantum feature maps can represent high-dimensional correlations in ways that classical support vector machines cannot. Luna challenges him on the hardware reality: current noisy quantum processors limit the feature space to about 20 qubits, which isn't enough for full-scale production. But the takeaway is concrete: hybrid classical-quantum models are already showing a 15-20% improvement in recall for the hardest-to-detect fraud types. No hype, just the engineering and business trade-offs. #QuantumComputing #FraudDetection #JPMorganChase #IonQ #QuantumMachineLearning #SyntheticIdentityFraud #FinancialCrime #BusinessAndTechnology #QuantumKernelMethods #HybridQuantumClassical #MachineLearning #BankingTechnology #Cybersecurity #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EnterpriseQuantum #QuantumFinance #ModelRisk Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
