A consortium led by 4colors Research, with Airbus and ORCA Computing, receives NQCC SparQ support to develop hybrid optimization algorithms for aircraft cargo loading.
Loading an aircraft means placing cargo under weight, balance and operational constraints. The project, Quantum-Accelerated Mixed-Integer Optimization for Aircraft Loading, combines mathematical optimization with gate-based and photonic quantum approaches in one hybrid workflow.
4colors leads the optimization and algorithm development.
