Exploring quantum computing use cases for Nepal
This week we will brainstorm about potential uses cases quantum computers may find in Nepali market.
Quantum computers promise to play increasingly important role in the ever-growing computer-driven economy of our world. Their applications are seen to be manifold:
Drug Design
Artificial Intelligence (natural language processing)
Cryptography
Finance
Optimization (vehicle routing, package delivery, electric grid optimization, aircrafts aerodynamics, etc.)
Quantum Sensing (medical imaging)
And the list goes on. Each of these applications fall in a broad category of quantum simulation, optimization or machine learning. These use cases are relevant in industries such as health care, manufacturing, financial services, logistic and chemical companies. The question is - what are the low hanging fruits for a Nepali quantum market? Can a quantum computer of the future help in crop yield in the Terai region of Nepal? How about reporting in advance about potentially heavy monsoon rain fall accompanying flash floods in the north-west Nepal? Nepal is a mountainous country, and transporting goods and services across the country is difficult. Maybe the device could help in optimizing the transport routes delivering raw materials for factories in Biratnagar? In this session, we will brainstorm about where and how Nepal can see optimal uses of a future quantum devices, one with thousand to a million qubits with error mitigation and correction protocol in place. Join us below this Thursday (10.06.2021) at 7 PM (Nepali time) for the brainstorming session:
