Only if your carrier has steam generating plant, which the QE Class do not, in which case your only choice is develop your own, which the UK did some initial work on, or buy the untested EMALS from the US. EMALS doesn't seem to be working out too well so buying that would have caused even more delays to the programme.
Lots more parking room for aircraft as well....then you could carry more than a half squadron.
Not really, there's as much room as on a CVN, it's just rather than moving the others out of the way to launch on a CVN you move them out of the way to land.
