DLR – GERMAN AEROSPACE CENTER (DE)
The main scope of the QA4EO project (Quantum Advantage for Earth Observation) is to identify three to five intractable Earth Observation Use-Cases (EO UCs) of practical importance based on their computational advantage as well as strategic value that can be usefully expressed and solved by a quantum computing approach on quantum computers (QC). The proposed EO UCs are:
To assess the selected EO UCs, we evaluate their hardness by using the computational complexity measures, and their hardness implies that conventional classical computers cannot solve efficiently our identified EO UCs but QC promise to tackle them efficiently.
