Abstract
A computer method and system for optimizing distribution of supply items from a plurality of inventory locations to a plurality of demand locations includes, with a server computer, obtaining inventory and demand data and establishing a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem corresponding to the distribution. Data corresponding to the QUBO problem is transferred to a quantum computer for solution. The QUBO solution is converted, by the server computer, to instructions corresponding to optimized item transfer, and displaying the instructions on electronic displays of networked devices. Computer methods may include selecting a solver computer program appropriate for problem complexity. Computer methods may include selecting a quantum computer, quantum-inspired computer, or computer array appropriate for solution.
