Quantum Communication, Sensing, Simulation, and Computing Drives New Opportunities in Computational Science
Quantum computing developments have witnessed a remarkable progress in the two past decades, involving a multi-disciplinary field of applied research. With the advent of disruptive technologies which addresses individual quantum states, quantum properties such as superposition and entanglement have led to the development of a completely new approach in computational science.
Quantum computing field involves four domains:
- Quantum communication via individual or entangled photons used to transmit data in a secure way
- Quantum simulation via well-controlled quantum systems used to reproduce the behavior of less accessible quantum systems
- Quantum computation via quantum effects that significantly speeds up calculations
- Quantum sensing via high sensitivity of coherent quantum systems and external perturbations to measure physical quantities
