Quantum technology

Quantum technology is an emerging field of physics and engineering, encompassing technologies that rely on the properties of quantum mechanics,^[1] especially quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, and quantum tunneling. Quantum computing, sensors, cryptography, simulation, measurement, imaging, quantum energy generators and space navigation are all examples of emerging quantum technologies. The development of quantum technologies also heavily impacts established fields such as space exploration,^[2] the sustainable energy & cleantech sector, nanomanufacturing, semiconductors and laser technology.

Furthermore, some scientists are researching possible interconnections between quantum biology and quantum technology, for example to better understand immunology^[3] and improve healthcare. Apart from its main roots in physics, some types of quantum technology may even involve chemistry or microbiology.
