ABSTRACT
In contrast to conventional technology understandable by classical mechanics, quantum technology relies on the principles of quantum physics. What is the need for quantum technology? There are mainly two good reasons for developing quantum engineering:
1. In the last fifty years or so, the size of the components of a computer has halved every eighteen months, providing the technological boom for modern society. As the computer components are decreasing in size, they approach atomic dimensions more closely. Then quantum mechanics imposes a fundamental limit, beyond which development of traditional technology is not feasible. To accomplish this, we specifically need new and novel devices utilizing the laws of quantum mechanics.
