Quantum Science & Technology

The study of the tiniest particles—which are thought to be the fundamental building blocks of the universe—is known as quantum physics. Understanding the characteristics of solids, atoms, nuclei, subatomic particles, and light is crucial. Subfields within quantum physics include quantum cryptography, quantum computing, and quantum teleportation. Quantum cryptography entails sending confidential messages via a quantum channel while guaranteeing safe keys via the use of techniques like quantum key distribution. Quantum bits, or qubits, are used by quantum computers to increase processing capability. Furthermore, the most accurate timekeeping apparatus, atomic clocks, depend on quantum physics to maintain their precision. Through a technique called squeezing, quantum methods also make it possible to reduce noise in laser beams.
