Quantum Robotic Swarms: What, Why, and How

Abstract

What is quantum computing, why do we need it, and how can we use it? Similarly: What is swarm robotics, why do we need it, and how can we use it? We try to briefly answer these questions, discussing some possibilities to apply quantum computing to swarm robotics, to get the best out of them. We also discuss a possible application of sonification as human-friendly feedback, and possible directions to be undertaken in future research.
