The second quantum revolution
Towards a new era of communications and computing
In the early years of the twentieth century, quantum physics changed perceptions of the world and led to revolutionary inventions. However, scientists have continued to research and have found new applications in such areas as computer and communications technologies. The impact of this theory is so radical that, a hundred years after its early development, the United Nations has proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. What can be achieved with quantum computers? Will they make it possible to surpass the current supercomputers? Will it be possible to develop completely secure cryptography?
