Quantum Physics

Track 1: Quantum Technology

Quantum technology is a field of study based on quantum mechanics that includes quantum entanglement and quantum superposition (the physics of sub-atomic particles) The truth is that you don't need to grasp quantum technology to use it, despite the fact that the word could make your head spin. Your smartphone is a quantum technology because the semiconductors inside of it make use of quantum physics, but neither you nor the engineer who created it needs to be familiar with quantum mechanics.

Quantum technology promises to improve a wide range of daily devices, such as:

• Navigation and timing systems that are more precise.

• More secure communications

• Quantum sensing for more precise healthcare imaging

• More powerful computers
