The Second Quantum Revolution Needs Reinforcements
The infancy of the second quantum revolution is upon us. A century of studying and modeling of quantum mechanics defined the first revolution. But today we are exploiting those mechanics with increasing precision to introduce disruptive applications in sensing, timekeeping, communications, encryption, and computing — often with the help of photonics. Although the technologies driving this revolutionary struggle are not yet mature, they are attracting a great deal of interest and...
