Technological Advancements courtesy of quantum physics

[The First Atom]

I am doing an English report for school and I am going over a lot of the basic theories of quantum mechanics. I was wondering if someone had a list of a lot of technological things made possible after the discover of quantum theory. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks a lot friends.

Well basically all of electronics. QM is the basis of solid state physics and that's what gave us semiconductors, transistors, integrated circuits and so on.

Lasers.

too short.

I said: Lasers...

Most or all of the modern forms of medcal imaging (e.g. MRI) depend on QM.
