Kvantutnyttjandet
Kvantutnyttjandet is a term used in Nordic languages to describe the practical exploitation of quantum phenomena to perform tasks beyond the reach of classical technologies. It covers technologies that use quantum states, superposition, entanglement, and interference to process information, sense signals, or enable secure communication. The emphasis is on turning fundamental quantum effects into usable tools rather than on theoretical insights alone.
The word combines kvant (quantum) and nyttjandet (utilization) in Norwegian and Swedish contexts, and is used
The concept emerged alongside the rise of quantum information science in the late 20th century, with milestone
Key applications include quantum computing for solving certain problem classes, quantum-secure communication such as quantum key
