Nanotechnology is the predominant basis which is presently responsible for numerous cutting edge and pioneering functional systems on a molecular scale where quantum mechanical e ffects a re v ital. A n e ntirely n ew g eneration of biological sensors, molecular imaging, solar cells, photo detectors, transistors and other optoelectronic devices have been made possible due to the direct use of phenomena such as quantum correlation, quantum entanglement, and quantum tunneling. Indeed, quantum effects can enable higher sensitivity and resolution than conventional sensors. Humanity can expect substantial improvements in their quality of life as a direct result of the advances in quantum-based nanotechnology integrations into biomedical and microbiology applications, including superior nano-sized drug delivery systems; cancer detection and treatment; DNA detection; and dental digital imaging. A new generation quantum-based photo detectors, superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, Nitrogen-vacancy centers, Graphene and Silicon carbide nanodevices are also opening the door for a new era of information technology with the realization of powerful quantum computing.
