Advanced Electronics PracticeShaping the long race in quantum communication and quantum sensingWhile quantum computing is making headlines, two related technologies—quantum sensing and quantum communication—could reach the market earlier and potentially transform multiple industries.December 2021© Flavio Coelho/Getty ImagesThis article is a collaborative effort by Gaurav Batra, Martina Gschwendtner, Ivan Ostojic, Andrea Queirolo, Henning Soller, and Linde Wester, who are members of several McKinsey practices.Quantum computing (QC), one of the most revolutionary technologies of our time, is about a decade away from widespread commercial application, based on our recent analysis. Less well known, but also important, are two related technologies that could become available much earlier: quantum sensing (QS) and quantum communication (QComm).All quantum systems are incredibly complex, but their benefits are straightforward. QC exponentially decreases processing time, in many cases, making
