Designing for a sustainable future using quantum technologies
Friday, April 26, 2024
On April 18, Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) awarded six research teams and their design ideas for the Quantum for Environment (Q4Environment) Design Challenge, whose green-tech solutions address global environmental issues. Ideas included using quantum computing to improve medical devices, and sensors that can detect microplastics and toxic nanomaterials in our oceans.
From highly selective chemical sensors for environmental monitoring to improved efficiency solar cells, the recipient teams have designed solutions to help address the world’s most challenging environmental problems.
The Q4Environment Design Challenge was made possible by Quantum Valley Ideas Laboratory, National Research Council of Canada, Honeywell Aerospace, Angstrom Engineering, and Ambature.
