Concept design for a quantum computer on a train
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
I'm looking for a talented freelancer who can help me with a concept design for a quantum computer installed on a train. The key purpose of the quantum computer is to provide advanced signal processing capability for the efficient operations of the train, so the design will need to efficiently maximise the limited space available within the train.
The concept design should provide a basic overview of a moving train with sensors that take in signals from its surroundings (e.g. spatial sensor for approaching platform, video of nearby hazards, data from train system monitoring systems) and pass them to an an onboard quantum computer for decoding. The decoded information is then either fed directly to the train's autonomous driving systems or passed to the train operator, who can choose how to respond (e.g. slow down, adjust position/timing of platform approach, issue passenger warning of hazard, etc.).
The concept design should be a single image (or set of images) on a single A4 page. It is for illustrative purposes only and does not need detailed specification. Its purpose is to convey an idea to an audience who is unfamiliar with this particular application of quantum computing. The message we are trying to convey is that a quantum computer on a train can accelerate onboard signal processing to improve positioning and timing of trains in real time, along with improving passenger safety and predictive maintenance.
For example, the image may depict an approaching platform, which is detected by sensors, decoded by quantum computers, resulting in a real-time adjustment to the train's speed/position to improve alignment to the platform. Or, cameras may detect track obstacles or baggage blocking carriage exits that are decoded by the quantum computer and flagged to the train operator as a live hazard impacting passenger safety. Or, the quantum computer may detect anomalies in train monitoring systems, which could be relayed to a fleet operations centre for accelerating carriage maintenance.
The quantum computer itself has a particular "chip-like" design, as shown in the attached powerpoint file. Deviations from this design are fine, as long as it retains a similar look/feel and retains the logo. The concept design can have "blow-up" images to magnify certain components, as the quantum computer is small compared with the train (roughly the size of a smartphone).
This project requires a freelancer with experience in component selection and physical layout design, and ideally basic knowledge of how signal processing works (so that it can be illustrated in the concept design). There are likely to be many future similar concept applications of quantum computing, for which we will be looking for similar services.
