Positioning Russia in Emerging High-Tech Areas

This article is dedicated to bibliometric analysis of the development of research in two new high-tech areas-nanophotonics and quantum information processing. The author's attention is focused on the number of peer-reviewed publications considered at the level of countries and their groups, international scientific cooperation, and citation rates. The structure of the international coauthorship network in quantum information processing is considered, and some aspects of the interaction of global and national scientific systems are discussed. Using bibliometric methods, the main participants in research in both areas have been identified, and their contribution to the world flow of publications and the share of international coauthored publications in it have been assessed. It is shown that the growth of research in the period 2000-2017 took place largely at the global level, the center of attraction for cooperation being G7 countries, and the most cohesive core of the coauthorship network on quantum information processing, in addition to the G7, included Switzerland, Sweden, and Russia. Importantly, in both areas Russia has significantly exceeded the target indicators of both the contribution to the world scientific result and the share of international coauthored works.
