Search CIO, Tuesday, May 13th, 2025
Quantum technology is a field of physics dedicated to developing new and innovative technologies based on the principles of quantum mechanics.
Quantum mechanics are the laws of physics that apply to subatomic particles, which were first explored in the 1920s by physicists Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger.
Quantum technology principles are already incorporated into established technologies such as nuclear power and cell phone semiconductors. Now, the field is focused on using unique quantum properties in emerging applications. These include quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum sensing, all aimed at achieving capabilities that surpass what classical technologies do.
