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 tasked Zapata with developing application-specific benchmark tests that compare performance across quantum hardware backends and estimate the hardware resources that will be required for different quantum applications.
Dynamically optimize the distribution of resources in response to changing theater and local patterns.
Decrypt intercepted adversary communications.
Secure sensitive data and applications from quantum attacks.
Find the optimal satellite configuration to maximize coverage and signal quality while minimizing operational costs.
Optimize the scheduling and routing of public transportation services to meet public needs with minimal costs.
Optimize the routing and scheduling of public services such as mail delivery and waste collection to increase efficiency while reducing costs.
Optimize the design of roadways to reduce traffic congestion and associated carbon emissions.
Model the impact of fiscal policies on economic conditions with greater speed and accuracy.
More accurately model the impact of healthcare policies on public health outcomes.
Simulate the impact of natural disasters, epidemics, and other wide-scale emergencies to improve response planning.
Optimize the allocation of humanitarian aid resources in response to disasters.
Accelerate the rollout of vaccines and other public health resources by predicting demand and optimizing delivery networks.
