Quantum technologies bring the strange features of quantum mechanics to bear on some of the most important industries today. A computer operating by the rules of quantum mechanics could solve important problems, such as factoring large integers, much faster than any computer today. A communication system can use Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to hide information and establish an unbreakable cryptographic cipher. Optical systems, built on single particles of light called photons, have many crucial characteristics and are central to emerging quantum technologies.

量子技术将量子力学的奇怪特性带到了当今一些最重要的行业。一台按照量子力学规则运行的计算机可以解决一些重要的问题，比如大整数的因式分解，比今天的任何计算机都要快得多。通信系统可以使用海森堡的不确定性原理来隐藏信息并建立牢不可破的密码。光学系统建立在称为光子的单个光粒子上，具有许多关键特性，是新兴量子技术的核心。
