Achieve Quantum Nanotechnology

Develop nanotechnology systems that exploit quantum mechanical effects for capabilities impossible with classical nanosystems. Quantum nanotechnology would use quantum tunneling, coherence, and entanglement to create nanosystems with quantum mechanical properties and behaviors. The challenge involves maintaining quantum effects in nanosystems at useful temperatures, creating practical applications of quantum phenomena at the nanoscale, and scaling quantum nanotechnology to useful applications. Applications include quantum nanosensors with ultimate sensitivity, quantum nanocomputers with unprecedented processing power, and quantum nanosystems that exist in multiple states simultaneously. Success would enable nanotechnology with capabilities beyond classical physics, provide quantum technologies at practical scales, and advance fundamental understanding of quantum mechanics in technological applications.
