Where quantum technologies meet power & energy system needs.
Electrical power systems are among the most complex engineered systems ever created, and a prerequisite for a functional and prosperous society. Transitioning to affordable and sustainable energy places stringent demands on the sensing, cybersecurity, and computational capabilities that underpin their operation. Quantum technologies can play a transformative role in power engineering. Quantum4EnergyNL is the Dutch community exploring this frontier.
Building a national community for quantum technologies in power and energy.
The Quantum4EnergyNL mission is to prepare the Netherlands to harness quantum technologies for its power and energy systems, at a moment when the energy transition and geopolitical pressures are straining energy infrastructure and quantum is moving to the centre of European and Dutch technology strategy. We connect researchers across the 4TU and beyond with industry to build a shared research agenda and put the Netherlands at the forefront of this emerging field.
Quantum technologies for future power & energy systems.
Quantum technologies, spanning sensing, communications, and computing, offer new paradigms for the measurement, cybersecurity, and computational challenges facing future power and energy systems. Our first report assesses the state of the field in the Netherlands and sets out near-term opportunities, longer-term prospects, and the barriers to progress.
