Embracing the quantum computing revolution is essential to addressing challenges and developing the next generation of intelligent transportation.
The future of the UK's transport infrastructure is under continued to pressure to address huge challenges such as how it will reach net zero, improve the experience of passengers and integrate new mobility solutions.
The application of quantum computing shows significant promise in achieving these goals. For example, quantum-enhanced navigation systems could alleviate traffic delays with enhanced precision, while quantum sensors and imaging technologies could ensure safer and more efficient travel. Quantum computing is already experimenting with optimising traffic flow along railways and roads, reducing congestion, and enhancing overall transportation efficiency.
However, to leverage quantum, collaborative efforts between government, the nascent UK quantum industry, and the public will be instrumental.
This session will explore the transformative journey towards a people-centric and quantum-powered future of transport. Key players, including industry leaders and government representatives, will share insights on pushing forward the adoption of quantum technologies in the transport sector.
We are delighted to be hear from industry experts including:
-
Stuart Dick, Head of Quantum Technologies, Department for Transport (DfT)
-
Nadia Hoodbhoy, Principal Engineer Technical Authority, Network Rail
-
Andre Carvalho, Head of Quantum Control Solutions, Q-CTRL
-
David Burnett, Director, D-Wave Systems
-
Laura Foster, Head of Tech and Innovation, techUK
-
Ashley Feldman, Senior Programme Manager, Transport and Smart Cities, techUK
As quantum technologies move from concept, development and towards deployment, it is critical that the UK’s leading industries and sectors are ready to realise the potential these new technologies can offer.
As such, techUK will be hosting a series of events and webinars showcasing how these technologies are starting to deliver impact across critical industries and sectors in the UK. We will spotlight real-world impact, emphasizing the imminent need for market readiness.
