Quantum sensing has a lot of potential, and we can expect some use cases to become commercially viable in the next few years. Some of the main applications include sensing the Earth’s magnetic field for navigation, radio detectors that don’t need large antennas, and sensitive gravitational detectors to monitor for changes in underground conditions.

Quantum computing has transformative potential. In particular, certain calculations that are just impossible to do with current “classical” computers may become feasible with quantum computers. This capability can also create a cyber security threat, in particular to some of the modern encryption that we rely on. But what really is the threat, and what should we be doing?

Quantum computing has massive long-term potential to transform society, by enabling new types of computations, but is also a field full of myths and misconceptions. In particular, quantum computers cannot just do the same calculations as today’s computers only faster/better/cheaper. Nor do they work by “trying all solutions at once”. And they certainly don’t prove that they are leveraging the computational power across multiple universes, no matter what headlines you might see.

You’ve probably heard a lot about “quantum” recently. 2025 was the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, reflecting 100 years on from the foundational discoveries, a number of next generation quantum technologies, or quantum 2.0, are approaching maturity.
