Overview of Quantum Technologies, Standards, and their Applications in Mobile Devices

In this paper, we summarize the quantum mechanics that define quantum technologies (quantum states, superposition, entanglement, and decoherence), introduce modern quantum technologies and their broader applications (quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum cryptography, quantum internet, and quantum error correction), examine the state quantum technology standards, and discuss how quantum technologies relate to the mobile world. For decades, methods for quantum technologies have been theorized or proven mathematically. Real implementations of these methods exist in modern devices such as lasers and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners. However, the precise manipulation of quantum particles - the fundamentally probabilistic building blocks of our world - is still in its relative infancy, with technologies that depend on manipulation being usable but limited in either function or adoption.
