One might think nuclear energy and quantum technology as unrelated. One concerns power plants, uranium, and electrical grids. The other revolves around next-generation computers, ultra-precise sensors, and advanced encryption. However, both are built on the same scientific foundations: quantum physics, or the study of how matter and energy behave at the smallest scales. A nuclear reactor and a quantum computer are governed by the same physical laws. Increasingly, tools developed in one field are becoming useful to the other.
