Einstein's double-slit Gedankenexperiment. The first screen (a), on the left, contains only one slit. Here, the particle undergoes a change in momentum due to the collision. The second screen (b) contains two slits, as in the original Young experiment. The third screen (c), on the right, is the revealing screen.

The Second Quantum Revolution refers to a contemporary wave of advancements and breakthroughs in the field of quantum physics that extends beyond the early developments of Quantum Mechanics that occurred in the 20th century. One crucial aspect of this revolution is the deeper exploration and practical application of quantum entanglement. Entangleme...

... three screens: the first with one slit, the second with two slits, and the third acting as the revealing screen, as shown in Figure 1. Einstein hypothesized that, by observing the momentum gained by the first screen in the collision with a particle, it is possible to find the direction of deflection of the latter and to identify which of the two slits had been crossed by the particle. ...

... this phase, TbPc 2 molecules, acting as sensors, make the XMCD signal increase thanks to the expansion of the n domains. It is essential to remark that, in the intermediate state, the magnetic field intensity in normal regions always equals H c , and the observed increase in XMCD intensity is a result of the average over n domains with increasing extension (see Figure 10).

... seems clear from the analysis of investment in these sectors. As reported by McKinsey & Company in their Quantum Technology Monitor, which was published in April 2023, the amount of investment in quantum technology start-ups has increased by 75% in the last year (see Figure 11 [98]). E. Gibney also reported the total amount of deals per year in the different sectors of quantum technologies in her Quantum Gold Rush [99]. ...

... summary, the advantages reside in the possibility of solving difficult computational problems in a reduced amount of time. As a consequence, one can think of increasing the complexity of these problems and taking more benefits from their solutions (see Figure 12). Otherwise, at the moment, the use of quantum computers is a future prospect due to the problems connected to the scalability of quantum circuits and the errors connected to the measurement of the coding results. ...

... at the moment, the use of quantum computers is a future prospect due to the problems connected to the scalability of quantum circuits and the errors connected to the measurement of the coding results. In fact, in the last year, investments have moved from building new start-ups to powering up the existing ones (see Figure 13 [98,115]). This is a consequence of a society that has found the frame of applicability of this new technology but needs a technological evolution to gain benefits from it. ...

... will now outline the risks and provide specific actions that law enforcement should take to mitigate them [116,117]. Overall, we would like to emphasize the importance of law enforcement preparation in the face of emerging developments in quantum technologies by highlighting both the potential challenges and opportunities that these technologies may bring to the realms of security and law enforcement (see Figure 14) [118,119]. Let us start by looking at the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data analysis technologies, particularly in the context of law enforcement and criminal investigations because of the ease with which large volumes of data can now be processed and analyzed. ...
