1 Quantum technologies: An overview

Sonia G. Schirmer

We consider how the ability to control quantum effects might give rise to entirely new technologies, present an overview of potential applications and consider some of the key challenges facing quantum control. A general overview of the main techniques that have been employed successfully so far in controlling various quantum phenomena is given and their applications, advantages and shortcomings are discussed. We conclude with an outlook on the future challenges to be overcome to make quantum technologies a reality.

The article presents an overview of the quantum technologies across diverse domains. The exploitation of quantum phenomena—such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum interference—allows the introduction of practical and sometimes still theoretical innovations in a wide range of technologies that at some point met an insuperable obstacle in their development. The first part of the series of articles focuses on the influence of quantum information technologies on cryptography, computational physics, hardware, digital electronics, machine learning and healthcare applications. The seven sub-articles address both the opportunities and challenges of deploying quantum technologies.
