12 words

Main Body

Two principles: (1) Principle of Superposition - ie. Quantums are not binary 0 or 1 but 0 and 1 (2) Principle of Entanglement - ie. effect on one can be detected by other. Common used Quantum Technologies: (1) Quantum Computers - is work on principle of superimposition - is 10000 times faster than super computer eg. India's first Quantum computer (2) Quantum Communication based on principle of entanglement - is end-to-end encryption - is faster delivery of data without getting intercepted - is if hacked easily detectable (3) Quantum equipment like clocks which are tightly efficient (4) Quantum materials can be made using quantum principle

Sensitive detector. (5) Quantum dot recently got noble prize for it - is it has fluorescent ability - this used in flow cytometry drug detection etc.
