Quantum computing is quietly transforming logistics route optimization—not as a futuristic promise, but as a measurable advantage today. In this episode of Quantum Computing Business with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna drill into a specific case: DHL's 2025 pilot program using D-Wave's quantum annealing to optimize last-mile delivery routes in Berlin. They walk through the numbers—15 percent reduction in total distance traveled, 12 percent cut in fuel costs—and explain why classical heuristics plateau beyond 100 stops per route. They also unpack the business friction: integration costs, cultural resistance from dispatchers, and why the ROI timeline is 18 months. If you're an operator or builder wondering whether quantum is ready for supply chain workflows, this episode gives you one concrete example to benchmark against. No hype, just the math and the deployment reality.
