The Quantum Economy

This week at Marine Technology News...

The quantum economy is not just a distant dream – it's unfolding right now, offering unprecedented opportunities for those ready to seize them.

That’s how the World Economic Forum introduced its new report “Embracing the Quantum Economy – A Pathway for Business Leaders” last week.

Prepared in collaboration with Accenture, the report explores advancements in quantum computing, quantum sensing and quantum communication and outlines strategic steps for businesses to get started with them.

Quantum sensors offer dramatically increased sensitivity compared to traditional sensors, and the World Economic Forum report says the technology is potentially disruptive for land and sea monitoring activities.

This week Marine Technology News reported on the agreement between ADNOC, the Technology Innovation Institute and ASPIRE to develop quantum sensing technology for carbon storage monitoring. It will be capable of detecting subtle environmental changes, such as shifts in magnetic or electrical properties, to help enhance safety and prevent leaks.

Also this week, Marine Technology News spoke to Georgios Salavasidis, a senior robotics researcher and delivery lead at NOC in the UK. He sees promising advances in quantum magnetometers and gravimeters.
