AI, quantum computing and other Big Compute^TM and will play a key role in maintaining American competitiveness in the technological sphere. Zapata is working closely with the US Department of Defense to benchmark when quantum-enhanced applications will make an impact across various domains.

Featured Use Case

Public Health Supply Chain Optimization

Challenge

Approach

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the challenges of distributing life-saving medical supplies in a crisis. Shortages of key materials, including PPE, drugs, ventilators, diagnostic tests, and later vaccines contributed to untold numbers of avoidable infections and deaths. In the new National Strategy for a Resilient Public Health Supply Chain, the federal government seeks to invest in a more robust domestic public health industrial base, improve agility to adapt and scale up production in times of crisis, and improve visibility into the public health supply chain.

The effectiveness of this strategy will hinge on the execution of multiple computationally complex problems, including:

Predicting demand and moreover predicting spikes in demand
Designing and installing the capacity to satisfy demand, with the flexibility to increase capacity when the system is under stress.
Designing specialized supply chains for vaccines, which often must be transported in cold conditions.
Integrating fragmented and distributed data sources from across the country to run analytics that could inform real-time supply chain decisions.

Featured Case Study

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

Quantum computers are poised to deliver an exponential advantage over classical computers but it’s unclear how or when this advantage will arrive. To answer these questions, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the US Government is funding Zapata to develop application-specific benchmark tests using the Orquestra® platform that compare performance across quantum hardware backends and estimate the hardware resources that will be required for different quantum applications.
