Since the development of quantum physics in the early part of the 1900s, this field of study has made remarkable contributions to our civilization. Some of these advances include lasers, light-emitting diodes (LED), sensors, spectroscopy, quantum dots, quantum gravity and quantum entanglements. In 1998, the NASA Langley Research Center established a quantum technology committee to monitor the progress in this area and initiated research to determine the potential of quantum technology for future NASA missions. The areas of interest in quantum technology at NASA included fundamental quantum-optics materials associated with quantum dots and quantum wells, device-oriented photonic crystals, smart optics, quantum conductors, quantum information and computing, teleportation theorem, and quantum energetics. A brief review of the work performed, the progress made in advancing these technologies, and the potential NASA applications of quantum technology will be presented.

We review the current status of efforts to develop and deploy post-quantum cryptography on the Internet. Then we suggest specific ways in which quantum technologies might be used to enhance cybersecurity in the near future and beyond. We focus on two goals: protecting the secret keys that are used in classical cryptography, and ensuring the trustworthiness of quantum computations. These goals may soon be within reach, thanks to recent progress in both theory and experiment. This progress includes interactive protocols for testing quantumness as well as for performing uncloneable cryptographic computations; and experimental demonstrations of device-independent random number generators, device-independent quantum key distribution, quantum memories, and analog quantum simulators.

Abstract Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) can revolutionize how humans interact with technology, but several scientific and technological challenges must be addressed to realize their full potential. Recent developments in quantum‐based sensing methods offer promising solutions to some of these challenges. This review provides an overview of the progress, challenges, and prospects of BCIs research and discuss the feasibility of integrating quantum sensor technology in BCI systems. The applications of quantum sensing in BCIs research are reviewed and the solution based on quantum sensor technology to overcome some of the challenges associated with BCI systems is proposed. The potential of quantum sensor technology for the future development of BCIs is emphasized. Overall, this review highlights quantum sensor technology's significant potential for future development of BCI.
