Quantum Highlights of the year in Nature Communications
The journal chooses the Quantum Highlights of the year, selecting the articles published in 2020 in quantum-related areas.
Quantum Technologies are in the blooming era. Everyone talks about it. We are in the midst of a second quantum revolution unfolding, in which we are trying to exploit our ability to understand, detect and manipulate objects at the microscopic level, in the regime of single quantum objects.
We are all aware that quantum physics will be an essential ingredient of our future disruptive technologies and it will bring forward new commercial opportunities addressing global challenges, providing strategic capabilities for security, and seeding yet unimagined applications for the future. At the same time, we continue to carry out more fundamental research, going beyond the frontiers of knowledge to discovered unfathomable phenomena.
In that pursuit, Nature Communications has highlighted the research papers in quantum-related areas that have been published by the journal in the past year. This focused collection of articles allows the reader to see the amazing advances that quantum technologies have achieved in the past year.
The Quantum Sensing researcher Morgan Mitchell leads one of the highlighted articles. Mitchell, who is an ICREA researcher at ICFO, also participates in the European Quantum Flagship projects QRange and MaQsimal.
