Introduction  Quantum computers promise to efficiently solve important problems that are intractable on a conventional computer. In recent years, quantum computational algorithms have emerged as an exciting new way to explore quantum cosmology. Quantum cosmology is the study of the universe's dynamics without constructing a complete theory of quantum gravity. By leveraging the power of quantum computers, researchers are able to gain new insights into the behavior of the universe on a quantum level. Quantum Cosmology In quantum cosmology, the universal wavefunction exists in an infinite-dimensional superspace over all possible 3D metrics and modes of matter configurations. However, due to the complexity of these calculations, researchers often use a simplified approach known as minisuperspaces. Minisuperspaces constrain the degrees of freedom to particular 3D metrics and uniform scalar field configurations, making the problem more tractable while still providing valuable insights in...

Introduction  Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are becoming increasingly vital components of Industry 4.0 and 5.0, particularly in logistics and supply-chain management. One of the key challenges in this field is the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), which involves optimizing the routes for a fleet of vehicles delivering goods to various locations. This problem, known for its complexity and significance, has recently seen innovative solutions through the application of quantum computing. What is the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP)? The VRP is a combinatorial optimization problem that requires determining the most efficient routes for multiple vehicles to service a set of locations. The goal is to minimize factors such as total distance traveled, delivery time, and overall cost, while adhering to constraints like vehicle capacity and delivery windows. Traditional methods for solving VRP rely on classical algorithms, which can become computationally expensive as the number of loca...
