In this study, we investigated the academic literature on quantum technologies (QT) using bibliometric tools. We used a set of 49,823 articles obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) database using a search query constructed through expert opinion. Analysis of this revealed that QT is deeply rooted in physics, and the majority of the articles are published in physics journals. Keyword analysis revealed that the literature could be clustered into three distinct sets, which are (i) quantum communication/cryptography, (ii) quantum computation, and (iii) physical realizations of quantum systems. We performed a burst analysis that showed the emergence and fading away of certain key concepts in the literature. This is followed by co-citation analysis on the “highly cited” articles provided by the WoS, using these we devised a set of core corpus of 34 publications. Comparing the most highly cited articles in this set with respect to the initial set we found that there is a clear difference in most cited subjects. Finally, we performed co-citation analyses on country and organization levels to find the central nodes in the literature. Overall, the analyses of the datasets allowed us to cluster the literature into three distinct sets, construct the core corpus of the academic literature in QT, and to identify the key players on country and organization levels, thus offering insight into the current state of the field. Search queries and access to figures are provided in the appendix.

量子技术学术文献的景观

在这项研究中,我们使用文献计量工具调查了有关量子技术 (QT) 的学术文献。我们使用通过专家意见构建的搜索查询从 Web of Science (WoS) 数据库中获得的一组 49,823 篇文章。对此分析表明,QT在物理学中根深蒂固,大部分文章发表在物理学期刊上。关键词分析表明,文献可以分为三个不同的集合,它们是 (i) 量子通信/密码学,(ii) 量子计算,以及 (iii) 量子系统的物理实现。我们进行了爆发分析,显示了文献中某些关键概念的出现和消失。接下来是对 WoS 提供的“高被引”文章的共被引分析,使用这些我们设计了一组包含 34 个出版物的核心语料库。比较该集中被引用次数最多的文章与初始集中的文章,我们发现被引用次数最多的主题存在明显差异。最后,我们对国家和组织层面进行了共被引分析,以找到文献中的中心节点。总体而言,数据集的分析使我们能够将文献分为三个不同的集合,构建 QT 学术文献的核心语料库,并确定国家和组织层面的关键参与者,从而深入了解当前的状态。场地。附录中提供了搜索查询和对图表的访问。最后,我们对国家和组织层面进行了共被引分析,以找到文献中的中心节点。总体而言,数据集的分析使我们能够将文献分为三个不同的集合,构建 QT 学术文献的核心语料库,并确定国家和组织层面的关键参与者,从而深入了解当前的状态。场地。附录中提供了搜索查询和对图表的访问。最后,我们对国家和组织层面进行了共被引分析,以找到文献中的中心节点。总体而言,数据集的分析使我们能够将文献分为三个不同的集合,构建 QT 学术文献的核心语料库,并确定国家和组织层面的关键参与者,从而深入了解当前的状态。场地。附录中提供了搜索查询和对图表的访问。从而深入了解该领域的当前状态。附录中提供了搜索查询和对图表的访问。从而深入了解该领域的当前状态。附录中提供了搜索查询和对图表的访问。
