Quantum 2.0: the cusp of a technology revolution

16 Dec 2021 James Dacey

For several decades we have lived with “quantum 1.0” technology – things like lasers and the transistors inside microchips. But now we’re on the cusp of a “quantum 2.0” technology revolution, which taps into phenomena such as superposition and entanglement. Practical quantum computers, a quantum Internet and exquisitely accurate quantum sensors are among the goals for academic researchers, tech developers and investors.

Find out more about the commercialization of quantum 2.0 in the December issue of Physics World.
