Einride and IonQ partnership uses quantum computing to optimize the logistics of electric and autonomous freight

by

Einride, a developer of electric and autonomous freight operations for some of the world’s largest shippers, has announced its initial results of a groundbreaking collaboration with the US-based quantum computing company IonQ to further enhance Einride’s AI-powered optimization platform, Saga. This marks the first real-world application using quantum computing to analyze commercial transport data.

Einride and IonQ entered into a three-year partnership in May 2025 to explore ways to further enhance the Company’s Saga platform through quantum technology.
