Quick commerce, an emerging trend in e-commerce, promises incredibly fast delivery speeds to satisfy ever-growing consumer expectations. But this rapid expansion isnt without its hurdles, particularly when it comes to maintaining smooth operations and being eco-friendly. Quantum computing steps in as a potential game-changer, bringing its powerful processing abilities to the table. Integrating quantum computing into quick commerce could transform logistics operations, from planning delivery routes to managing warehouse resources. Its not just about speeding things up; its about rethinking the entire supply chain, including how we handle inventory and the final leg of delivery. Quantum algorithms, which are built on the principles of quantum mechanics, can help companies predict demand more accurately, restock shelves faster, cut down on waste, and enhance overall efficiency. These algorithms are especially good at optimising routes in real time, considering various factors to ensure quicker, more dependable deliveries. This study aims to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of quantum computing in logistics. It examines how quantum computing can be used, its possible benefits, and the challenges it might face in the quick commerce sector. The chapter argues that quantum computing could usher in a new era of logistics management characterised by unprecedented efficiency in routing deliveries, controlling inventory, and allocating resources. Highlighting the use of quantum algorithms for dynamic routing and demand forecasting underscores the potential for creating a more agile and eco-friendly delivery system. Ultimately, this research shines a light on how we can turn the conceptual promise of quantum computing into real-world improvements in quick commerce logistics, advocating for a future where quantum computing leads to a sustainable and efficient quick commerce ecosystem. 2026 selection and editorial matter, Pushan Kumar Dutta, Pronaya Bhattacharya, Jai Prakash Verma, Ashok Chopra, Neel Kanth Kundu and Khursheed Aurangzeb; individual chapters, the contributors.
