In light of the rapid technological development that the world is witnessing at the digital level, the features of a new technological revolution have begun to appear on the horizon, which scientists confirm will be based on quantum physics, which says: The material things that we see around us are, in reality, only a form of energy Since the beginning of the twentieth century, quantum physics has opened to researchers and scientists the field of research and diving into the inner secrets of matter and the unknown universe in a way that challenges our perceptual senses and our ability to imagine.
We can find quantum physics applications in various areas of our daily lives, for example in lasers in Blu-ray players, barcode readers, lasers used in medical operations, ultra-accurate atomic clocks used in satellite navigation and guidance systems in cars, and a range of wide range of other microelectronic devices. This is only the tip of the iceberg of what we will witness in the future! Where we will soon witness a digital revolution that is taking shape now. Patrice Caine, Chairman and CEO of Thales Group, says in exclusive statements to Al Bayan Al-Economic: We are witnessing today the beginnings of the second quantum revolution that will enable man to control the atoms of the material universe, whether individually or in groups, and the use of certain phenomena to produce effects that cannot be expected to say the least.
Researchers have finally been able to control and manipulate these quantum bits, or “qubits,” to manufacture quantum computing devices capable of performing real-world functions and tasks at a speed that enables unimaginable capabilities. Unlimited opportunities in many sectors such as automobiles, defense industries, health care, environmental sciences, and others, because it knows no borders in terms of generating ideas and developing creative energies.
The technical expert adds: Thales is currently working on a project aimed at turning a range of quantum technology applications into reality in the foreseeable future, including the development of quantum sensors, which are currently considered the most mature areas of quantum research, and it is expected that this project will see the light in Within the next five years. “As you may recall, the first computers were the size of an entire room, but today, your smartphone has more computing power in a smaller footprint, allowing for new and wider applications and uses.” Employ quantum technology applications in transportation, energy, security, medicine, mapping, or subsurface monitoring.
He adds: «Let's take the air transport sector for example, where the plane can take off from Paris and land in New York without the help of a GPS signal, with accuracy of up to a few kilometers. With the development of studies related to quantum sensors, the same aircraft can land on the correct runway without any use of a geolocation system. In communication systems, quantum encryption will allow the possibility of transmitting messages in complete safety, through which information is sent as light pulses through optical fibers like soap bubbles. .
When trying to intercept the signal, these bubbles will burst, making the system completely reliable. The high precision of quantum sensors will also play an important role in the field of medicine, such as the possibility of detecting tumors that are impossible to detect today. Geologists can discover previously unknown natural resources.
And he adds: «These applications and technologies are not inspired by a science fiction movie, but are real and are being tested in the Thales laboratories and at the Paris-Saclay University, which includes one of the largest quantum physics research facilities in Europe, with which Thales participates. in it too.”
