Using quantum computing to solve the maximal covering location problem

Abstract In this article, we present the process and results of using quantum computing (QC) to solve maximal covering location problem proposed by Church ReVelle. With contribution, seek lay foundations for other urban regional scientists begin consider technologies. We obtained promising results, but it is clear that there a need more capable devices with qubits less susceptibility electronic noise instances currently cannot be optimally solved traditional solvers. foresee QC will common use in science its applications years come.
