Abstract

This article explores the transformative potential of quantum technology in community services, emphasising quantum sensing, quantum computing algorithms, and quantum communication. Community services, spanning healthcare, education, and environmental conservation, are crucial for resident well-being. Quantum technology, rooted in principles like superposition and entanglement, is presented as a game-changer. Quantum sensing offers unparalleled precision, benefiting environmental monitoring, traffic management, and healthcare diagnostics. Quantum computing algorithms, leveraging qubits, promise breakthroughs in resource allocation, data analysis, and telecommunications optimisation. Quantum communication, particularly quantum key distribution, ensures secure data transmission, safeguarding sensitive information in fields like finance and healthcare. The article envisions a future where quantum technology optimises community services, fostering data accuracy, speed, and privacy. The collaborative incorporation of quantum technology into ICT infrastructure is crucial for realising these advancements and enhancing community well-being. The recommendations stress enhancing ICT infrastructure for seamless quantum technology integration. Quantum-safe encryption, high-speed communication networks, and quantum-ready data centres are crucial. Collaboration among stakeholders is deemed essential for identifying applications and ensuring comprehensive integration.
