TQT supported research

Quantum methods can lead to more efficient and precise solutions to environmental issues over conventional methods, accelerating the path to sustainability. Already, TQT-supported researchers have used quantumbased techniques to address environmental needs such as heavy metal detection, energy-efficient electronics, sustainable computing, and atmospheric monitoring. 

The eighth round of the Quantum Quest Seed Fund (QQSF) was targeted at the Faculty of Arts and intended to encourage ideas and uncover opportunities from diverse fields outside of the scope of researchers working day-to-day with quantum devices. This resulted in project awards to Dr. Lai-Tze Fan, a Professor in the Department of Sociology & Legal Studies cross-appointed in the Department of English Language and Literature, and Dr. Igor Grossmann, a Professor in the Psychology Department, who both want to improve the accessibility and understanding of quantum.
