Quantum Technologies: Digital Transformation, Social Impact, and Cross-sector Disruption
Abstract
A new generation of quantum technologies will cut across most of the emerging technologies we know today, empowering many of them and threatening the security of others. They will also disrupt technology currently used in medicine, biology, genetics, education, economy and finance, energy, sustainable agriculture, transportation, and meteorology, among others, achieving a high social impact as well. Because of this, many major global powers and the most prominent technology firms have already heavily invested in understanding, developing, and implementing these new technologies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
