“…The evolution of quantum science over the last decades is unparalleled (Scheidsteger et al, 2021). Studies show that quantum science has four main pathways, that of course are not exhaustive: (i) quantum information science; (ii) quantum sensing, imaging, and control; (iii) quantum communication and cryptography; and (iv) quantum computation (cf., Dowling, and Milburn, 2003;Jaeger, 2018;Long et al, 2019).…”

Quantum computer and computing are areas of theoretical and experimental research having a phase of growth that can generate a tectonic shift of the evolution of technology in society. The scientific and technological development in quantum research is due to a range of driving technological trajectories that are growing to solve more and more complex problems. The goal of this study is to detect emerging research fields and technological trajectories of quantum computing to explain and generalize, whenever possible, the technological characteristics of evolutionary dynamics in science and technology. Database of Scopus concerning documents and patents is used for statistical analyses to determine the growth of research fields and technological trajectories having a high potential impact in science and society. Results suggest that quantum research is driven by emerging scientific and technological trajectories given by Qubits, Quantum optics, Quantum circuit, Semiconductor quantum dots and quantum information. Overall, this study explains, whenever possible, emerging research fields and technological technologies in quantum computing that support scientific and technological change directed to future economic and social progress. Finally, technology analysis of this study can help policymakers to support the allocation of resources for all areas of Quantum Science having a high potential of growth and positive impact in science and society.

“…Various approaches have been utilized to reorganize the results of previous studies. However, bibliometric analysis could provide a transparent and systematic review based on scientific activity and statistical measurements [49,81,82]. In turn, it can achieve the analysis within more reliable objectives.…”

“…Based on the similarity index, the keywords for non-polar GaN-based photodetectors were classified into two clusters. This function was widely used to mine the literature for pertinent information, and it could also be employed for the topic of non-polar GaN-based photodetectors [49,81]. The similarity index was deemed to be high since the problems addressed in the reviewed literature were comparable.…”

Non-Polar Gallium Nitride for Photodetection Applications: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Ultraviolet photodetectors have been widely utilized in several applications, such as advanced communication, ozone sensing, air purification, flame detection, etc. Gallium nitride and its compound semiconductors have been promising candidates in photodetection applications. Unlike polar gallium nitride-based optoelectronics, non-polar gallium nitride-based optoelectronics have gained huge attention due to the piezoelectric and spontaneous polarization effect–induced quantum confined-stark effect being eliminated. In turn, non-polar gallium nitride-based photodetectors portray higher efficiency and faster response compared to the polar growth direction. To date, however, a systematic literature review of non-polar gallium nitride-based photodetectors has yet to be demonstrated. Hence, the objective of this systematic literature review is to critically analyze the data related to non-polar gallium nitride-based photodetectors. Based on the pool of literature, three categories are introduced, namely, growth and fabrication, electrical properties, and structural, morphological, and optical properties. In addition, bibliometric analysis, a precise open-source tool, was used to conduct a comprehensive science mapping analysis of non-polar gallium nitride-based photodetectors. Finally, challenges, motivations, and future opportunities of non-polar gallium nitride-based photodetectors are presented. The future opportunities of non-polar GaN-based photodetectors in terms of growth conditions, fabrication, and characterization are also presented. This systematic literature review can provide initial reading material for researchers and industries working on non-polar gallium nitride-based photodetectors.

“…The second quantum technological revolution [1,2] or quantum technology 2.0 (QT 2.0) that started around 1980 with the control of single quantum particles and their interaction on an individual basis was object of a bibliometric study by Scheidsteger et al [3]. The authors looked at a publication set of nearly 55,000 papers from Web of Science, published between 1980 and 2018.…”

We present a historical study of Quantum Technology 2.0 using more than 66,000 papers from 1980 to 2020 that had been assigned to four subfields. We applied the method reference publication year spectroscopy to respective publication sets of the subfields in order to identify their historical roots and seminal papers. We found 126 of them in total, 43 in quantum metrology and sensing, 46 in quantum communication and cryptography, 42 in quantum computing, and 33 in quantum information science–with a significant overlap between subfields–which are all discussed in their relevance for the respective subfield. We compared the subfields regarding their interrelationship and distinctiveness in terms of their most influential papers and were able to deduce a common core set of five seminal publications in all four subfields.
