The United Nations has named 2025 the Year of Quantum Computing, both to foster global awareness and celebrate the 100th anniversary of Quantum Theory. This is a technology with the potential to mark a clear "before and after" for the world.

Recognizing its importance, Venturus has already launched projects and partnerships in this space through our Quantum Computing Center of Excellence.

To explore the full potential of this field, we’re publishing a four-part blog series—from the origins of quantum theory to real-world applications. Join us on this journey!

Física Quântica: o início

Quantum Physics emerged in the early 20th century, fundamentally changing our understanding of the universe by revealing the surprising behavior of subatomic particles.

Key figures like Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Louis de Broglie, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, John Bell, and Peter Shor all made groundbreaking contributions that laid the foundation for what we now call Quantum Science.

From this body of work, two key concepts emerged:

  • Quantum Superposition, first formalized through Schrödinger’s famous equation in 1926.
  • Quantum Entanglement, described by Schrödinger in 1935 and inspired by the EPR Paradox—an argument by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen.

At the time, Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance", since it didn’t align with his theory of relativity. Schrödinger, however, recognized entanglement as a fundamental feature of quantum mechanics.

These ideas took decades to be tested and verified experimentally. Quantum entanglement, for instance, was only validated nearly 40 years later through correlation experiments by John Bell.

From Theory to Practice

The pioneers of quantum physics opened the door to a new world of knowledge. What was once science fiction—imagined by authors like Jules Verne—is now being realized through quantum science.

Quantum physics has far-reaching implications for today’s technologies. From Quantum Computing to Nanotechnology, it’s transforming how we process information, encode data, and understand the universe.

Real-World Applications: Quantum 1.0

Quantum mechanics already underpins everyday technologies such as:

  • Lasers
  • Carbon dating
  • Data storage devices
  • Semiconductor chips

This is referred to as Quantum 1.0—the first wave of technology driven by quantum principles. It leverages quantum mechanics indirectly, without yet tapping into more complex phenomena like entanglement or superposition.

Examples include:

  • GPS
  • Microwaves
  • Transistors

The Next Phase: Quantum 2.0

Today, we’re entering a new phase: Quantum 2.0. In this stage, we’re not just inspired by quantum theory—we’re actively interacting with quantum phenomena to build technologies like quantum computers and sensors.

This wave is expected to impact multiple sectors, including healthcare, cybersecurity, climate, finance, and more.

A key moment in this shift came in 1994 when Peter Shor introduced a quantum algorithm capable of breaking RSA encryption—a major concern for modern cryptography and national cybersecurity.

Health and Environment

Quantum technologies are beginning to influence health and environmental science, enabling:

  • Complex molecular simulations
  • More accurate medical diagnostics
  • Improved climate modeling

Quantum computers, for example, can predict molecular interactions with greater accuracy, which could revolutionize personalized medicine and drug discovery. They can also simulate climate events, providing better tools for environmental monitoring and planning.

Economy and Decision-Making

In economics and business, quantum optimization algorithms offer unprecedented levels of efficiency. These tools help organizations make faster, smarter decisions based on large-scale simulations that go beyond current capabilities.

Much More to Explore

In the upcoming articles in this series, we’ll explore how quantum technologies are transforming specific industries and highlight both their potential and their challenges.

You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how this scientific revolution is reshaping the world—and how to prepare for a future powered by next-generation technology.

At Venturus, we’re actively working with the latest quantum technologies in collaboration with national and international partners.

With 30 years of experience in innovation and engineering, we’re ready to support the future—from Quantum Computing to breakthroughs in AI, IoT, Design, and Software Development.
