Quantum Technology Market: Overview

Quantum technology is an up-and-coming field of engineering and physics with immense potential and includes a wide range of technologically advanced devices, materials, and IT-related protocols. These technologies make use of quantum physics and mechanics to provide solutions to problems that cannot be solved by normally applied physics. Even though a lot of current technologies use quantum mechanics, there is unprecedented access to quantum technologies to their full potential by incorporating concepts like superposition and entanglement.

Quantum superposition is a founding concept of quantum mechanics and demonstrates the ability of a given quantum system to operate in different states at the same time until measured allowing for the exploration of richer and better sets of states. Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon occurring when a group of particles present close to one another and interact in a certain way where the quantum state of any particle in the given group cannot be independently described, not even when these particles are at larger distances. Quantum entanglement is what separated classic and quantum physics.
