The goal of this project is to establish the role of quantum computing in solving for optimisation challenges within Lifeblood and comparing these to more traditional computing capabilities. Specifically, this project will consider the blood donor centre network with the view to establishing the most effective network with respect to our collection targets, known inputs (e.g. blood types / demand etc) and external data sets (e.g. ABS data, geographical information, mobility etc). The project will involve working with business and analysis SMEs, IT professionals and external vendors e.g. AWS, and using emerging technology such as Amazon Bracket. Outputs could involve developing optimisation algorithms, or a more traditional model.
