Specifically, the advances and trends cover quantum computers and Quantum Processing Units (QPUs), quantum computation and quantum machine learning, quantum network, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), quantum teleportation and quantum satellites, quantum measurement and quantum sensing, and post-quantum blockchain and quantum blockchain. Some challenges are also introduced.
