ABSTRACT: Quantum technologies, mainly quantum computing and quantum sensing are emerging as new applications of quantum mechanics for practical use. Two notable advancements in quantum computing and quantum sensing respectively are Shor’s algorithm and nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond lattices. Shor’s algorithm leverages certain properties of quantum computers to factor large numbers faster than any classical algorithm. Nitrogen vacancy centers leverage spin defects to sense even very small signatures of magnetic fields. This review article aims to provide a pedagogical introduction and overview of these emerging platforms for quantum technology.
