What is Quantum Technology?

Quantum Technology harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics — superposition, entanglement, and quantum tunnelling — to create a new generation of computing, communication, and sensing systems. These systems promise exponential speed-ups for specific tasks, fundamentally unbreakable encryption, and sensing precision impossible with classical physics.

The field spans quantum computing hardware and algorithms, quantum cryptography and key distribution, post-quantum standards to protect today's infrastructure, and the emerging convergence of quantum hardware with machine learning and AI.
