We are entering a new quantum era in which we are learning to manipulate and control the quantum states of matter down to the level of individual particles. This has unlocked a wealth of new possibilities across multiple fields. For instance, by entangling two photons of light, we can generate a communications channel that is impervious to eavesdropping. Or we can put the highly sensitive nature of quantum particles to work detecting phenomena we have never been able to sense before.<\/p>\n<p>We call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nokia.com\/about-us\/newsroom\/articles\/quantum-technologies-explained\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nokia.com\/about-us\/newsroom\/articles\/quantum-technologies-explained\/\" aria-label=\"this new era of innovation Quantum 2.0\">this new era of innovation Quantum 2.0<\/a>, distinguishing it from the Quantum 1.0 era of the last 100 years.

But as we transition to Quantum 2.0, we are reconceptualizing the way we communicate and the way we sense the world, as well as the way we compute.
