Thales supports IET and DSTL’s report addressing challenges in integrating quantum technologies into complex systems
Thales contributed to the IET and DSTL white paper, "Quantum Technologies: A New Frontier for Systems Engineering," which examines the integration of quantum technologies into operational systems.
Launched at Portcullis House, in the House of Commons, the report highlights quantum’s transformative potential in secure communications and advanced sensing. It also addresses challenges such as non-determinism, entanglement, and decoherence that complicate systems engineering, when applied to systems that contain quantum components or subsystems.
David Harvey, Chief Technical Consultant at Thales, shared insights on overcoming these barriers through modular design, standardisation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. This approach ensures effective integration of quantum innovations into diverse applications while preserving established engineering methodologies.
