Quantum computing is part of the broader area of quantum information technologies or quantum technologies.
Quantum computing is a hallmark "moonshot" of a second quantum revolution. Whereas the first revolution enabled lasers and transistors based on rules of quantum mechanics, the second aims to control quantum systems.1,2 Quantum computing uses quantum phenomena to perform computations. Quantum computing is part of the broader area of quantum information technologies or quantum technologies. Quantum technologies seek to understand how quantum phenomena can be used in computing, communication, sensing and metrology to go beyond what classical systems can do.
