Introduction

Quantum technologies represent a revolutionary advancement in science and technology, with profound implications across multiple domains.

These technologies rely on the properties of quantum mechanics to perform tasks that are otherwise impossible or unworkable with classical technologies.

To understand quantum technology in simple terms, think of quantum technology as a magical library. In this library, the books have incredible abilities:

• Superposition (Magical Books): Imagine each book can tell many different tales at once. When you open a book, it could be telling a tale about a knight or a princess, or both at the same time. This is like a quantum bit (qubit) in a quantum computer that can be both 0 and 1 at the same time, unlike regular bits that are only either 0 or 1.
• Entanglement (Paired Magical Books): Now, imagine two magical books that are connected. If you change the tale in one book, the tale in the other book changes instantly, no matter how far apart they are. This is like quantum entanglement, where particles become linked and instantly affect each other, even across great distances.
• Quantum tunnelling (The Magical Door): Imagine a magical door in the library that normally keeps you out. However, sometimes, with a special key, you can walk right through it, as if it is not there at all. This is like quantum tunnelling, where particles can pass through barriers that they shouldn't be able to, allowing for new kinds of technology and discoveries.

With the help of these magical properties of the books and the library, scientists can solve problems much faster, send messages that cannot be intercepted and uncover new mysteries about the world.

Therefore, the technology developed using quantum technology is like a library in which books are filled with magical doors and a keyboard. In this way, a person uses technology as if he had a magical library full of books to do impossible and amazing things!

Quantum technology promises to revolutionise industries by providing the highest computational power, uncrackable cryptography, sensors with high sensitivity and ultra-secure communication networks.

This technology landscape report based on global patent data, produced in partnership with Dentons, the world's largest global law firm, and Clarivate, a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, provides an overview of the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of quantum technologies.

It delves into the trend and key industry players across three primary branches of quantum technologies: quantum computing, quantum communications and quantum sensing.
