The Secret of Getting Ahead Is Getting Started
summary
Fujitsu presents concrete routes to value: a digital annealer emulator already solves combinatorial problems today rather than waiting for universal quantum hardware. Case results: Toyota supply‑chain optimization over 3 million routes yields 2–5% cost reduction; Hamburg port traffic control across 12,000 trucks cuts travel time ~20% and CO2 ~9%; Deutsche Bahn scheduling with ~12,000 train path requests (70,000 candidates, ~10^20000 combinations) increases approved requests without major runtime change. Emulators act as an on‑ramp until gate systems scale.
