<p>Recently, Zapata AI, BMW, and MIT&#39;s Center for Quantum Engineering collaborated to solve a complex problem: how can you most efficiently schedule vehicle production? This problem needs to take into account many many variables, so how did the team optimize the process? With AI of course! Listen to this episode to find out more about how exactly they did and what results they found.</p> <p><br></p> <p>My two hand-picked episodes for you:</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thequantumpod/episodes/Yudong-Cao-and-Quantum-Generative-AI---Episode-11-e206uia/a-a9fihof" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thequantumpod/episodes/Yudong-Cao-and-Quantum-Generative-AI---Episode-11-e206uia/a-a9fihof</a> </li> <li><a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thequantumpod/episodes/Alejandro-Perdomo-Ortiz--Yudong-Cao--and-Quantum-Optimization-in-the-Real-World---Episode-4-e14tfk1/a-a66sd56" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thequantumpod/episodes/Alejandro-Perdomo-Ortiz--Yudong-Cao--and-Quantum-Optimization-in-the-Real-World---Episode-4-e14tfk1/a-a66sd56</a></li> </ol> <p>More recommended resources:</p> <ul> <li>How We Harness Industrial Generative AI for Optimization: <a href="https://zapata.ai/industrial-generative-ai-for-optimization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://zapata.ai/industrial-generative-ai-for-optimization/</a></li> <li>Synergy Between Quantum Circuits and Tensor Networks: Short-cutting the Race to Practical Quantum Advantage: <a href="https://zapata.ai/publications/synergy-between-quantum-circuits-and-tensor-networks-short-cutting-the-race-to-practical-quantum-advantage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://zapata.ai/publications/synergy-between-quantum-circuits-and-tensor-networks-short-cutting-the-race-to-practical-quantum-advantage/</a></li> <li>Zapata, BMW and MIT’s The Center for Quantum Engineering Publish Research On Optimizing Vehicle Production Planning Using Quantum-Inspired Generative AI Techniques: <a href="https://zapata.ai/news/bmw-optimizes-vehicle-production-planning-using-quantum-inspired-generative-ai-techniques/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://zapata.ai/news/bmw-optimizes-vehicle-production-planning-using-quantum-inspired-generative-ai-techniques/</a></li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p>Intro/Outro music: Oblivious by Nihilore (<a href="https://www.nihilore.com/synthwave">⁠https://www.nihilore.com/synthwave⁠</a>)</p> <p>Nihilore license: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode">⁠https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode⁠</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow us on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/zapatacomputing">⁠https://twitter.com/zapatacomputing⁠</a></p> <p>Follow us on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/zapata-computing">⁠</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/zapata-ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.linkedin.com/company/zapata-ai</a></p> <p>The Quantum Pod is produced by <a href="https://zapata.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠Zapata AI</a></p> <p>Host: <a href="https://zapata.ai/team/ethan-hansen/">⁠Ethan Hansen⁠</a></p> <p>Guests: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sbabhadiashar/">⁠Shima Bab Hadiashar</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-banner-91733412b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Will Banner</a>, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcin-ziolkowski-04334348/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Marcin Ziolkowski</a></p> <p>Editing: <a href="https://zapata.ai/team/ethan-hansen/">⁠Ethan Hansen⁠</a></p> <p>Special thanks to: <a href="https://zapata.ai/team/mick-emmett/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠Mick Emmett</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/robkerstens/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Rob Kerstens</a></p>
