FreeYa Mind Campus Perspective
Computational challenges in aerospace
Complex optimization, high-fidelity simulation, advanced materials, cybersecurity, quality inspection and predictive maintenance.
Role of quantum computing
Not all of these challenges can be addressed directly by quantum computing today. Combined with AI and HPC, however, quantum computing opens relevant directions for applied research and pilot projects.
Proposed Contribution and Next Steps
Contribution of FreeYa Mind Campus
