Briefings

CGI Federal entered an applied research agreement with the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville to launch the Quantum Pathfinder initiative. The project focuses on using agentic AI and quantum computing to improve warehouse management, supply chain resilience, and inventory positioning in contested environments. CGI Federal will host the research at its Knoxville delivery center, with findings expected to be shared through publications and industry events. The initiative aims to move quantum computing and AI from theoretical promise to practical application in national readiness systems.

Key points

• The Quantum Pathfinder initiative is anchored in a mutual commitment to advance the commercialization of mission-critical emerging technologies by uniting government mission ownership, university research leadership, and commercial quantum capability.
• The initial areas of exploration for the Quantum Pathfinder include dynamic smart-warehouse orchestration, reverse logistics and disposition, and resilient inventory positioning for contested environments, with specific use cases to be jointly selected in the coming months.

Context and limitations

This briefing covers the initial agreement and stated objectives of the Quantum Pathfinder initiative. Specific use case selection, detailed timelines for the initial exploration phases, and the final selection of specific use cases remain unconfirmed and are subject to future selection processes.
