Quantum Technology introduces the readers to the fundamentals, materials, and devices for quantum technology applications.

The author provides the reader with the key principles of quantum and solid-state physics, and electronic, magnetic and low-dimensional materials. Then, he introduces important advances towards realization of quantum technology such as quantum computing, quantum electronics, and cryogenics. Throughout, the author explores how understanding of materials, physics and nanotechnology can lead to practical implementation and design of devices and new technologies. Enabling technologies that underpin the design of materials, devices, and applications are also discussed.

Quantum Technology is suitable for materials scientists, engineers and physicists working towards the realization of quantum technologies. It may be also of interest to computer scientists working in this area.

Prof. Dr. Stefan Tappertzhofen studied electrical engineering and information technology at RWTH Aachen University and received his PhD in 2014. From 2014 - 2016 he worked as research associate at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. Afterwards, he worked as a research and development manager for semiconductor measurement technology at aixACCT Systems. Since 2020 he is Professor in Micro- and Nanoelectronics at TU Dortmund University. His research is focused on novel multi-functional materials, memristive systems and circuits, and quantum- and nanotechnology.

Dr Jack Alexander-Webber is a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow and leads the Low-Dimensional Electronics Group in the Department of Engineering at The University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. Dr. Jack Alexander-Webber obtained his MSci in Physics at Royal Holloway, University of London, United Kingdom. He has a DPhil in Condensed Matter Physics from the University of Oxford. His doctoral research focused on high magnetic field effects in low-dimensional materials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and III-V semiconductor heterostructures. After completing his DPhil in 2013 he was an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Researcher in the Department of Physics, University of Oxford.

In 2014 Jack began a Junior Research Fellowship at Churchill College, University of Cambridge developing scalable device engineering techniques for graphene and other emerging materials, based in the Electrical Engineering Division in the Department of Engineering. In 2016 he was awarded a Research Fellowship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. He currently holds a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellowship and leads the Low-Dimensional Electronics Group in Cambridge, where the focus of his research is to engineer materials with atomic dimensions for (opto)electronic and quantum device applications.
