Federal budget allocation is a highly complex process, where innovative solutions could offer new perspectives. In this talk, we'll explore how quantum thinking can help us approach this challenge in new and creative ways. We'll discuss the key questions to consider when tackling complexity, such as "How do we approach the issue?" and "What could be done with quantum?". By applying principles from quantum mechanics, like superpositioning and entanglement, we may uncover novel methods for prioritizing competing interests and optimizing resource allocation. This presentation will provide a brief introduction to the concept of quantum thinking in budgeting and highlight potential applications that can help policymakers make more informed decisions.
