Exploring Potential Applications of Quantum Computing in Transportation Modelling

Silicon photonics interfaced with microelectronics for integrated photonic quantum technologies: a new era in advanced quantum computers and quantum communications?

“…As a result, quantum computing in transportation allows us to imagine more sustainable cities where cars, buses, and pedestrians are routed in real-time in the safest, most efficient ways. 27 The advantages of quantum computing are manifold. For instance, routing optimization has the following applications: it decreases the amount of time people spend in traffic, increases safety, lowers pollution, and helps city planners better visualise the impact of large-scale infrastructure projects like public transportation.…”

Exploring Quantum Sensing Potential for Systems Applications

“…QST utilizes quantum effects to accomplish something that a conventional sensor cannot [1][2][3][4][5]. Due to quantum systems' extraordinary sensitivity to external perturbations, quantum sensors precisely monitor various physical characteristics, including temperature, pressure, frequency, acceleration, rotation, magnetic and electric fields, and more [2].…”

“…Although QST is still developing, it has already attracted a great deal of interest from the community, domain experts, and researchers in numerous fields. Despite the high expectations, there is currently a lack of information regarding where and how QST can be effectively deployed and how it may affect the systems research domain [3]. Furthermore, application-oriented contributions to QST research tend to be scarce, fragmented, and narrowly focused [4].…”

“…Several quantum technologies, including atomic vapors, trapped ions, photonic qubits, superconducting circuits, and artificial atoms in wide-bandgap materials, have been used for sensing purposes in the past decade [1,2]. Governments and businesses have recognized the need to prepare for a quantum future even though quantum computing is likely years away [3,4]. While QST may substantially impact many aspects of humanity in the near future, QST applications area research is still in its infancy [3][4].…”
