The Second Quantum Era; Introduction
For many people, quantum technologies still seem like something straight out of science fiction. Yet, in reality, technologies built upon quantum phenomena have been part of our everyday lives for nearly seventy years; from lasers to medical imaging systems.
Quantum mechanics is not merely a theory created to describe a strange and distant microscopic world. For decades, quantum phenomena have been deliberately harnessed in technologies that have transformed science, industry, medicine, communications, and the very way we process information.
But what is it that truly makes these technologies “quantum”-ish? What becomes possible when, instead of simply observing quantum phenomena, we learn how to control and engineer them? And how far can the next generations of quantum technologies push the boundaries of human capability?
Welcome to the fifth season of Radio PsiKet!
In this season, we explore these very questions, and more importantly, we look beyond the excitement and expectations surrounding quantum technologies today to understand what is actually happening behind the scenes.
Because to understand where quantum technologies are headed, we must first understand where they began.
