Enabling Industrial Quantum Technology               — •Michael Förtsch — Q.ANT GmbH, Handwerkstraße 29, 70565 Stuttgart

After more than 30 years of successful scientific demonstration of quantum mechanical phenomena, we are reaching the point to realize first industrial products with this novel technology. It is expected that in the 21st century quantum phenomena will create significant economic value in at least four technology fields: Communication, Computing, Imaging, and Sensing.

This expectation for everyday products is bringing key industrial parameters such as usability, price, durability and scalability into the focus of current developments. I am convinced that this shift in priorities can only succeed, if we:

• 1. Establish education in quantum technology beyond physics
• 2. Collaborate together in highly multidisciplinary teams
• 3. Generate public interest by explaining the advantages and possibilities instead of ’how it works’
• 4. Manage the expectations both in terms of value proposition and ’time-to-market’

It is time to develop the next generation of technologies.
Let’s drive quantum technology to industry.
