There are 4 main kinds of quantum technologies that will come up: + +## 1. Quantum computers + +- These devices are here and san speed up certain calculations dramatically   +- Not just both 0 and 1 but rather in between 0 and 1  +- Can process much more information with qubits than bits +- This speedup  only works with certain calculations  +- To be useful  - need to bring  a large number of  qubits (~1 mill qubits) +- Question is not will it work, it is rather **will it scale** + - quantum computers already exist today + - yet status is similar to how nuclear fusion worked 50 years ago, effective and still in process + +## 2. Quantum internet + +- Information transmitted with quantum effects +- Uses quantum cryptography as a security protocol +- It irreversibly changes the state of an information particle   +- Cannot transfer info faster than speed of light or with any other quantum effect  +- quantum computer can break current protocols  +- Quantum internet can be safe from hacking by quantum computers +- Caveat - Post quantum or quantum-safe cryptography + - People that work on quantum  things dont like to mention this though + +## 3. Quantum metrology + +- Collection of measurements to improve quantum effects  +- Medicine and material science  +- Can make do with very few particles with minimal damage to sample +- Most promising quantum technology + +## 4. Quantum simulations + +- Very useful in trying to understand complicated system  +- By reproducing system that you can control better to better predict system +- Dramatic shift in modern physics as you can take out mathematics  +- Instead of simulating with mathematics you model it directly  with another system  +- Simulate particles similar to the higgs which you cannot do in any other way  + - though headlines like the simulated wormhole is nonsense +via [source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-aGIvUomTA) + +## 5. Quantum Sensors + +Next up : let's [[List of Quantum Tools \|see how we use them with existing quantum software & hardware --> ]] + +Page views: +hit counter
