This interview highlights E.ON's pragmatic approach to applied quantum computing, focusing on identifying specific optimization bottlenecks in grid management where classical methods struggle. The discussion emphasizes the transition from theoretical buzz to practical implementation within a utility-scale environment, offering insights into hybrid deployment strategies and the timeline toward fault-tolerant systems.
Corey O’Meara (E.ON): Finding Real Quantum Advantage in Grid Optimization
Yuval Boger interviews Corey O’Meara, Chief Quantum Scientist at E.ON Digital Technology. They discuss how E.ON’s five-person quantum team works with business units to find high-value use cases, especially where classical methods may hit bottlenecks in optimization and machine learning. Corey describes the company’s work on peer-to-peer energy trading and other grid-related applications, and shares […]
Yuval Boger interviews Corey O’Meara, Chief Quantum Scientist at E.ON Digital Technology. They discuss how E.ON’s five-person quantum team works with business units to find high-value use cases, especially where classical methods may hit bottlenecks in optimization and machine learning. Corey describes the company’s work on peer-to-peer energy trading and other grid-related applications, and shares his perspective on cloud access, hybrid deployment, and the accelerating progress toward fault-tolerant quantum computing. Corey: Hello, Corey, and thank you for joining me today. Thanks for having me. Yuval: So who are you and what do you do? Corey: Yeah, so my name is Corey and I’m chief quantum scientist at E.on Digital Technology. And there I’m technically leading the applied quantum computing program at one of Europe’s largest utility companies. Yuval: E.on, as you mentioned, is a very large company. How large is the Quantum team and when did it get started? Corey: Yeah, great question. So we’re a pretty modest team. We’re five full-time employees on the project and the team. And we started in around 2020. It’s kind of an interesting story. So in the early days, we were approached– so I should preface it that the department where it lands…
