Abstract

This year, the Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to quantum technology. After quantum mechanics, its theoretical interpretation was questioned by many physicists including Einstein. However, this did not prevent the outbreak of the first quantum technological revolution. Quantum manipulation at the ensemble level has given birth to important achievements such as atomic bombs, semiconductor transistors and lasers. With the proposition of Bell inequality in 1964, it is possible to verify basic quantum theories such as quantum entanglement by experiments. The three Nobel laureates in physics not only confirmed the existence of quantum entanglement, but also opened the second quantum technological revolution. This revolution has made it possible for humans to manipulate single quantum states with high precision, on a large scale and at a long distance, and has spawned innovative achievements in quantum communication, quantum measurement, quantum computing. This revolution is approaching the stage of industrialization and will be interwoven with a new generation of information technology, such as artificial intelligence, to form subversive innovation achievements. The application value of quantum technology will become increasingly apparent.
