以下IEEE SPECUTRUMからの抜粋
シグマアイによるCOVID-19関連の取り組みです。

Masayuki Ohzeki is a co-founder of the Tokyo-based Sigma-i company. They have used D-Wave’s quantum cloud to develop optimum tsunami evacuation routes and to increase the efficiency of automated robotic carts moving materials around within a factory.

Now Ohzeki said his team has begun work on route planning for transporting large numbers of COVID-19 patients to and from a medical facility.

As with the airline example above, the factors determining each individual patient’s transportation—whether it’s due to the condition of the patient or the number of staff available on any given shift—can make the problem complex.

“In this sense, it is important to pay attention to the interaction and come up with a new formulation rather than following an existing textbook framework,” he said. “Sigma-i (likes to explore) how to use the quantum annealer more cleverly.”
