The state government hopes using Q-CTRL’s quantum technology will allow it to have a transport system that ‘talks’.
Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) has partnered with quantum computing firm Q-CTRL to determine how the latter’s technology can help with the state government’s transport network. The partnership, Minister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance said, could see the “world’s smartest computer” be used to tackle Sydney’s complex transport problems, including updating schedules in real time if there is crowding on the network. “This is a rare opportunity for some of our leading transport innovators and quantum computing experts to come together to tackle complex transport network management and congestion problems,” Constance said.
