Given your preferences on budget, carbon footprint/emissions, speed of transportation, and starting/ending location, our software will provide you with the most optimal transport of cargo.
Our team was inspired by the rumor that reducing carbon emissions in supply chain logistics leads to an increased time and cost of delivery, so we worked to invalidate this idea and created a project which handles that for cargo shipment companies.
What it does
Our Quantum Logistics software takes a starting location and ending location, and then finds the distance in kilometers of the shortest route between these locations. It then gets the distance of stretches of land and water between the two locations in order to determine whether the cargo delivery has to be on air, ground, or water. The user can enter their preferences for speed, cost, and environment preservation and the software will take that input and output the most optimal cargo delivery.
Challenges we ran into
None of us knew how to do quantum computing prior to the hackathon, we didn't even know what a qubit is. Learning quantum computing algorithms and applying them to our project was definitely the hardest part of this hackathon.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the fact that we dipped our feet into the vast field of quantum computing, and were able to make a fully functioning project which helps the environment.
What we learned
We learned how to make quantum computing algorithms, as well as how to use Github more efficiently to develop our project.
What's next for Quantum Logistics
We hope to make Quantum Logistics into a real website, and help preserve the environment one step at a time!
