The United Nations has declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Technology. The rapid progress in this field of research is underlined by the fact that numerous Nobel Prizes in Physics have recently been awarded to quantum physicists. Accordingly, the media is increasingly reporting on the potential of extremely powerful quantum computers, for example. Nevertheless, quantum physics is still considered to be an extremely complicated subject for laypeople. In the book “Ein Quantum Zukunft – Quantenphysik und Quantentechnologien einfach erklärt”, quantum technologists Patrick Emonts and Johannes Knörzer have therefore set themselves the task of explaining their specialist field to a broader public.
