The Problem At Air France KLM over 7,000 employees work in shifts with different contract percentages, skill and authorization levels, etc. Efficiently scheduling all these employees becomes a complex combinatorial task. To solve it classically, Air France KLM simplifies the problem by designing both base rosters and personal rosters, reducing its efficiency. Designing personal rosters …
The Problem Dutch DSO Alliander is faced with the challenge of increasing the capacity of their network within the next 10 years by the same amount as within the past 100 years. On top of that, novel technologies like solar panels and electric vehicles add additional complexities to this future network. Performing large grid calculations …
The Problem Bathymetry is the study of water depths and at S[&]T this is done through the analysis of remote sensing data. This is relevant to the Dutch Ministry of Defense for collecting situational intelligence to determine potential landing sites for amphibious crafts. The depth of ocean floors between 0 and 20m is derived from …

The Problem Modern large scale radio telescopes are made of multiple antennas whose signal needs to be combined to form a clear picture of the night sky. During this process, the antenna system needs to be calibrated to digitally remove noise source and imperfection in the telescope setup. Classical calibration techniques are powerful but computationally …
The Problem Toyota Motor Europe, in collaboration with QAL, is delving into the realm of photocatalysis for watersplitting, a pivotal process in the sustainable production of hydrogen. The accurate simulation ofphotocatalytic reactions stands as a complex, resource-intensive endeavor that demands innovativecomputational methodologies. The Quantum Solution The project employs a state-averaged orbital optimized variational quantum eigensolver …
