Superposition equips teams with foresight across the expanding quantum landscape, turning breakthroughs in computing, communications, and sensing into actionable roadmaps.

Superposition - Quantum Industry

This radar highlights innovative technologies designed to help people understand and navigate the future of quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum communication, and the convergence of matter, energy, and information. We focus on quantum hardware platforms, quantum algorithms, quantum networks, and quantum applications that are pushing the boundaries of what's possible with quantum mechanics. By mapping the convergence of quantum physics, engineering, and computing, we aim to provide insights into technologies that will transform computation, sensing, and communication.

This resource is free and open-access, ensuring it reaches quantum researchers, engineers, physicists, policymakers, and the public. In this version of the Envisioning Superposition radar, we go beyond emerging technologies by including applications, quantum networks, and ethical considerations around quantum security, access, and the societal implications of quantum technologies. This broadened focus demonstrates that the future of quantum technology depends on more than just technical capability; security, access, and responsible development play equally important roles in ensuring quantum technologies benefit all of humanity.

Our Work

  • Developed a comprehensive research database documenting quantum technologies across hardware, software, applications, and ethics.

  • Features technologies encompassing topological qubits, trapped-ion processors, integrated photonic quantum chips, quantum algorithms, and quantum networks.

  • Four-dimensional assessment system tracking Technology Readiness Level, Impact, and Investment for each entry.

  • Application-focused analysis covering quantum computing applications, quantum sensing, quantum communication, and quantum simulation.

  • Ethical framework integration examining quantum security implications, access and equity, and the societal impact of quantum technologies.

  • Ongoing research with periodic updates as new quantum technologies emerge and capabilities expand.

Impact

  • Provides quantum researchers and engineers with structured insights into emerging quantum technologies.

  • Free and open-access, enabling physicists, students, policymakers, and citizens to explore quantum technologies with critical awareness.

  • Security and access focus presenting both technological capabilities and considerations around quantum security, post-quantum cryptography, and equitable access to quantum technologies.

  • Supports informed decision-making for quantum research directions, system development, and policy formation around quantum technologies.

  • Comprehensive framework consolidating diverse domains (quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum communication, quantum applications) into a unified reference system.

  • Material serves as both a reference tool and security framework for understanding how quantum technologies evolve and the governance needed to ensure they enhance rather than undermine security and access.
