It is true that quantum theory is behind a huge part of contemporary technological developments (e.g., lasers, semiconductors, and photoelectric conversion).
However, the true non-classicality of quantum theory usually does not play a role in the vast majority of uses of such technologies.
When we talk about quantum technologies, we are talking about things like using non-classical states of light or matter to make better sensors, or using the intrinsic randomness of quantum theory to generate keys for secure communication, and also applying quantum interference to speed up some computations.
Those are the prototypical examples of the main areas of Quantum Sensing, Quantum Communication, and Quantum Computation. Saiba mais...
