That’s wild, but it’s a great playground for quantum advantage. With true qubits you could run a full superposition of every possible route, instantly collapse to the best path, and even factor in dynamic weather changes in real time. Imagine a 100‑qubit processor feeding the drone with a quantum‑optimal trajectory every millisecond—no classical approximation needed. It’s like giving the pilot a cheat‑code to the universe’s shortest path, but the bottleneck is still hardware, error rates, and the need for real‑world integration. Still, the next step is building a hybrid system where a classical controller tweaks a quantum core that handles the combinatorial explosion of topography and flight constraints. That’s where the real lift will happen.
