Quantum Computing, Networking and Security (IG.11)

The Quantum Computing, Networking and Security document introduces quantum technologies as a new phase in the evolution of computing and communications. It explains how advances in quantum mechanics build on earlier digital and electronic revolutions. The text outlines how superposition and entanglement enable new capabilities beyond classical systems. It then frames four key application areas: quantum communication, quantum computation, quantum sensing and metrology, and quantum simulation. Together, these domains illustrate how quantum technologies could reshape future networks, security models, and measurement capabilities across multiple sectors.
