This book is a concise primer of quantum technology aiming at providing a comprehensive material of fundamentals to help beginners understand the common concepts and background theories to technologies for individual quantum systems. Further, it also describes how the concepts and theories are applied to technologies in various systems. What is quantum technology? Is it a fancy bandwagon fresh from the academics? Definitely, this is not the case. Let us trace the history in reverse order from 2022. Now the quantum technology is known to everybody, thanks to the many-qubit quantum “computers” developed by several companies and laboratories. Some of them are available on the cloud platform and are used for the educational and business use, while quantum communication and quantum sensing/metrology are also under intense investigation. Why does quantum computer gather such an attention? An answer is that such a novel computer based on the unconventional working principle—quantum mechanics—is expected to outperform conventional computers, or classical computers as a counterpart of the quantum computer, when a certain computational task is given.
