Quantum Technology

Quantum technology is a field of research and engineering that employs the principles of quantum mechanics. The most active areas of research within this field are currently quantum computing, quantum communication (quantum key distribution), and quantum sensing.

Quantum Computing: Achieving Quantum Advantage

The advent of quantum computing has brought with it the promise of a “quantum advantage” over classical computers. Among the most promising methods for creating reusable qubits for room-temperature quantum computers are quantum optical tweezers, which can be used as ion traps. These advancements in quantum technology pave the way for more powerful and efficient computing solutions.

Quantum Communication: Ensuring Secure Information Exchange

Quantum communication offers the most secure method of information exchange. Any attempt to intercept the information leaves detectable traces. Entangled photons and interferometry are key methods used to realize secure key encoding and decoding in quantum key distribution, highlighting the impact of quantum technology on communication security.

Quantum Sensing: Extending Sensitivity to New Heights

Quantum sensing extends sensitivity to the highest levels. Devices such as atomic clocks, optically pumped magnetometers, and cold atom interferometry benefit from advancements in quantum technology, providing precise and accurate measurements essential for various applications.
