Quantum technology is an emerging field of physics and engineering, which relies

on the principles of quantum physics.[1] It is about creating practical applications—

such as quantum computing, quantum sensors, quantum cryptography, quantum
simulation, quantum metrology and quantum imaging—based on properties
of quantum mechanics, especially quantum entanglement, quantum
superposition and quantum tunnelling.
According to John von Neumann, quantum technology is different from the
deterministic classical mechanics, which holds that the state is determined by
values of two variables.[2] He stated that quantum technology is determined
by probabilities and this explanation has been used to justify the technology's
superiority.[2]

light due to quantum confinement.
