Quantum technologies takes advantage of quantum effects, such as quantum entanglement and superposition, to enhance the performance of existing applications or enable new capabilities. By exploiting quantum behaviour of photons, electrons, atoms, and condensed matter, they have the potential to: deliver increased information processing power; secure communications; achieve high-precision positioning, navigation, and timing; greatly improve sensing and detection; and revolutionize sectors such as information technology, health, defence, manufacturing, and transport.
To overcome tremendous challenges in implementation and fulfil its potential, scientists, engineers, and leaders in industry need to come together to find the right solutions to make Quantum technologies a reality. The Research Directions: Quantum Technologies journal supports researchers throughout the entire innovation process and fosters truly multidisciplinary collaboration to advance this field.
