BLUE BELL, PA — Unisys (NYSE: UIS) said its latest quantum computing research has been published in AIP Advances, marking a significant milestone as the company pushes next-generation computing from theory into real-world use.
The peer-reviewed paper, titled Analyzing Performance of Commercial Quantum Annealing Solvers for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem, appears in the journal of the American Institute of Physics and examines how commercial quantum annealing technology can tackle one of logistics’ most complex challenges: optimizing delivery routes when vehicles face capacity limits and cost pressures.
Using a transportation-focused case study, the research evaluates how effectively quantum annealing can solve the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem, a benchmark optimization problem in supply chain and logistics planning. The study also analyzes how variables such as problem size and constraint density affect solution performance, offering insights that could shape future quantum optimization strategies.
“This recognition from the American Institute of Physics highlights our ongoing efforts to explore practical applications of quantum computing,” said Sean Tinney, senior vice president and general manager of Enterprise Computing Solutions at Unisys. He said the company is focused on deploying quantum technologies responsibly, in partnership with research institutions, to help clients adapt to emerging digital environments.
The publication adds to growing momentum in Unisys’ quantum research program. The company said multiple papers have recently been accepted at the IEEE International Conference on Quantum Artificial Intelligence 2025, alongside presentations at IEEE Quantum Week 2025 and a separate IEEE publication exploring quantum-enhanced approaches to cybersecurity data analysis.
Unisys is also a member of the Chicago Quantum Exchange and said it is working with the consortium to advance industry-specific quantum applications and cultivate specialized talent. The company views transportation and financial services among the sectors most likely to benefit as quantum capabilities mature.
Beyond research, Unisys said it offers a Quantum Advisory Service to help organizations evaluate when and how to adopt quantum technologies, from identifying high-return use cases to preparing workforces for long-term integration.
“There have been notable advances in quantum computing recently, moving the field from theory toward practical use cases,” said Salvatore Sinno, vice president of innovation for Enterprise Computing Solutions at Unisys. He said the company expects quantum capabilities to become increasingly embedded in operational systems as adoption accelerates across industries.
