Pioneering Quantum Transport and Mobility Solutions for Brisbane 2032 and Beyond

This project explores how emerging quantum computing technologies can revolutionise the way we manage complex transport and mobility systems. With a focus on traffic management and modelling for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, our research aims to develop next-generation decision support tools that can adapt to dynamic transport conditions at scale. Quantum computing, including quantum annealers and gate-based machines, has the potential to deliver exponential speedups for optimisation problems central to transport, such as minimising travel delays and managing congestion across the network.

Our multidisciplinary research team is investigating the opportunities and limitations of the emerging quantum algorithms applied to transport use case.  The project ambitiously aims to deliver a scalable suite of quantum-ready algorithms, laying the foundation for Queensland’s transition to a smarter, quantum-powered mobility future.
