In 2022, EDF found quantum should increase the ability to analyze the large number of variables relevant to studying dam deformation.

Challenges

Solution

Results

Numerical simulations of dam deformation can only consider a limited set of variables today

A quantum algorithm was deployed to analyze a vast dataset and consider age, environment, human error and other variables

Found quantum may lead to an exponential speedup at scale
