WASHINGTON - The United States' https://www.militaryaerospace.com/commercial-aerospace/article/14232513/frequentis-and-unmanned-experts-join-nasa-air-mobility-project(NASA)has announced an agreement with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to jointly develop open source software for quantum computers to solve real-world aerospace applications. DLR and NASA announced the partnership earlier this year.
The DLR established a Quantum Computing research group in 2015 as part of its High-Performance Computing department and has published a software module that has been used to explore quantum computing approaches for tasks such as optimizing routes for transatlantic flights, allocating aircraft at major airports or planning satellite missions. NASA and DLR are now developing further modules and will subsequently make them available as open-source software.
