Optimizing Supply Chain Efficiency and Transparency Through Quantum Computing Technologies

Abstract

The chapter examines the application of quantum computing in enhancing supply chain management (SCM). By utilizing qubits, which process complex data more efficiently than traditional bits, quantum computing offers solutions for optimizing logistics, reducing costs, and improving data transparency and security in supply chains. The research highlights the potential benefits and barriers to adoption, including high costs and technological maturity, suggesting a strategic, gradual integration of this technology into SCM practices.
