Quantum choreography: making molecules dance to technology's tune?

摘要

We consider how the ability to control quantum effects might give rise to entirely new technologies, present an overview of potential applications and consider some of the key challenges facing quantum control. A general overview of the main techniques that have been employed successfully so far in controlling various quantum phenomena is given and their applications, advantages and shortcomings are discussed. We conclude with an outlook on the future challenges to be overcome to make quantum technologies a reality.
