## Classification of QUANTUM technologies

- Quantum Computing (quantum computer, quantum programming, and algorithms, quantum simulation, optimization,...)

for instance, special problemss in quantum chemistry

- Quantum Cryptography and Communication (quantum network, quantum key distribution, post-quantum cryptography,...)

- Quantum Sensors (Single photon detection e.g. quantum radar, 3D camera; ghost imaging, quantum illuminating, ...) and Metrology (quantum/atomic clocks, gravity measurement, quantum magnetometer, inertial measurement, chemical detection,...)
