Impact of Quantum Physics on Society

Eric S. Mbakop

Published Jan 1, 2009• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

The goal of this IQP is to investigate the problems of physics that led to the birth of quantum physics, the scientists that were involved in its development, and the impact quantum physics has had on society through some of its applications.

Quantum Physics and its Profound Impact on Human Society

B. N. Dev

Quantum physics emerged from the failures of classical physics to explain many physical phenomena. Quantum physics has contributed immensely to science and underpinned modern technologies. The UN-designated International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (2025) recognizes the centenary of the birth of quantum mechanics as a complete theory and its profound contribution to the first quantum revolution, which has given us computers, mobile phones, lasers, GPS and MRI. Also a second quantum revolution is poised to provide unprecedented computing ability through quantum computers, secure communication with quantum cryptography and ultrasensitive quantum sensing devices for various diagnostic tools.

Niels Bohr: Physics and the World

Herman Feshbach, Tetsuo Matsui, Alexandra Oleson

Containing the proceedings of the symposium held by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Niels Bohr, this collection was first published in 1988. More than any other individual, Bohr was responsible for the development of quantum mechanics and for many of its applications in the pursuit of fundamental understanding of physical reality. In addition to his unique role in the discovery and elucidation of quantum theory, Bohr led the study of the fission of nuclei and was greatly concerned with the impact of the existence of the atomic bomb in the post-World War II era. This unique volume provides a panoramic view of modern physics, some of the philosophical issues associated with quantum theory, the impact of this momentous scientific development on the political circumstance of the Cold War Era and the qualities of a superlative scientist.

Atomic Quantum Technologies for Quantum Matter and Fundamental Physics Applications

Jorge Yago Malo, Luca Lepori, Laura Gentini +1 more

Physics is living an era of unprecedented cross-fertilization among the different areas of science. In this perspective review, we discuss the manifold impact that state-of-the-art cold and ultracold-atomic platforms can have in fundamental and applied science through the development of platforms for quantum simulation, computation, metrology and sensing. We illustrate how the engineering of table-top experiments with atom technologies is engendering applications to understand problems in condensed matter and fundamental physics, cosmology and astrophysics, unveil foundational aspects of quantum mechanics, and advance quantum chemistry and the emerging field of quantum biology. In this journey, we take the perspective of two main approaches, i.e., creating quantum analogues and building quantum simulators, highlighting that independently of the ultimate goal of a universal quantum computer to be met, the remarkable transformative effects of these achievements remain unchanged. We wish to convey three main messages. First, this atom-based quantum technology enterprise is signing a new era in the way quantum technologies are used for fundamental science, even beyond the advancement of knowledge, which is characterised by truly cross-disciplinary research, extended interplay between theoretical and experimental thinking, and intersectoral approach. Second, quantum many-body physics is unavoidably taking center stage in frontier’s science. Third, quantum science and technology progress will have capillary impact on society, meaning this effect is not confined to isolated or highly specialized areas of knowledge, but is expected to reach and have a pervasive influence on a broad range of society aspects: while this happens, the adoption of a responsible research and innovation approach to quantum technologies is mandatory, to accompany citizens in building awareness and future scaffolding. Following on all the above reflections, this perspective review is thus aimed at scientists active or interested in interdisciplinary research, providing the reader with an overview of the current status of these wide fields of research where cold and ultracold-atomic platforms play a vital role in their description and simulation.
