Beschreibung
This textbook provides a rigorous yet accessible introduction to quantum technologies, widely regarded, alongside artificial intelligence, as one of the most transformative innovations of the twenty-first century. Recent advances in the control and manipulation of individual quantum systems have ushered in the so-called Second Quantum Revolution, opening unprecedented possibilities for computing, communication, sensing, and information processing.
From the foundations of quantum physics to their most advanced technological applications, the book shows how concepts once considered purely theoretical curiosities have become the basis of emerging devices and rapidly growing industrial sectors. In addition to quantum computing, it explores quantum sensing, quantum communication, cryptography, teleportation, and the evolving interplay between quantum technologies and artificial intelligence.
The opening chapters introduce the essential principles of quantum mechanics, with particular emphasis on superposition and entanglement, before examining the foundations of quantum information science, including qubits, quantum algorithms, and the major technological challenges facing the field.
Subsequent chapters present the most advanced applications, from quantum computers and sensors to secure communication networks, highlighting both their remarkable potential and their current limitations. Appendices and in-depth sections provide readers with the mathematical and conceptual tools needed to engage with the specialized literature and pursue further study.
Written primarily for undergraduate and graduate students in the physical sciences and engineering, the book is also accessible to educators, professionals, and scientifically curious readers. It offers a comprehensive journey from the fundamentals of quantum physics to some of the most promising technologies shaping the future.
