Abstract (AI)
We are currently in the midst of a second quantum revolution. The first quantum revolution gave us new rules that govern physical reality. The second quantum revolution will take these rules and use them to develop new technologies. In this review we discuss the principles upon which quantum technology is based and the tools required to develop it. We discuss a number of examples of research programs that could deliver quantum technologies in coming decades including: quantum information technology, quantum electromechanical systems, coherent quantum electronics, quantum optics and coherent matter technology.
Key Findings
1
Quantum technology requires both foundational quantum principles and specialized tools for developing practical devices and systems.
2
The paper characterizes a second quantum revolution as the technological exploitation of quantum-mechanical principles established during the first revolution.
3
The review identifies quantum information technology, quantum electromechanical systems, coherent quantum electronics, quantum optics, and coherent matter technology as promising research programs.
4
These research programs could yield significant quantum technologies over the coming decades.
