The grow and level up the economy strategic priority is at the heart of the government’s agenda to spread opportunity across the UK. Transport has a crucial role to play, whether it be through improving connectivity across the United Kingdom and growing the economy by enhancing the transport network, on time and on budget. DfT has a number of specific interests in this space, notably our infrastructure projects, Places for Growth and our apprenticeships and skills work.

The project is relevant as it involves the development of quantum sensors for accurate positioning on rail networks, but it does not directly address road traffic management and maintenance.
Many industries stand to benefit from the commercialisation of quantum computing, particularly those industries that need high levels of processing power, such as the autonomous vehicle market. Quantum computers can prov...
