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.

As well as providing new opportunities, quantum computers can create new risks. One commonly discussed is the cyber security threat, in particular to encryption. But what really is the threat, and what should we be doing?

Quantum computing has potential for new types of computations. Discussions seem to involve mysterious “qubits”, “entanglement” and more. Quantum physics can sound pretty weird, even if we don’t really see this in everyday life. However, in the same way you don’t need to be an expert in semiconductor band gaps to use a transistor-based computer, you shouldn’t actually need a PhD in quantum physics to start thinking about the risks and opportunities that quantum computing can offer.

The good news is that you don’t need a PhD in physics to start thinking quantum technology. We can broadly it into four categories – randomness, sensing, communication and computers
