Conference by Antía Lamas-Liñares, Principal Quantum Scientist at Amazon Web Services (AWS), within the framework of Science Week, organized by the Galician Institute of High Energy Physics (IGFAE).

Summary: 100 years ago, the first quantum revolution triggered a change that fundamentally altered our understanding of the natural world and even what constitutes a valid physical theory.

Less well known is that we are currently experiencing a second quantum revolution, one founded not on the epistemological consequences of quantum mechanics but on our ability to harness its fundamental characteristics to produce new technologies and products.
