Yes, lying is not restricted to politics.  Quantum has been stretched to cover many areas which have traditionally just been called electronics.  From a precise physics description any device or technology that reflects the quantum structure of matter can be counted as a quantum technology as in the article you reference.  A compact fluorescent bulb displays an output light spectrum that is quantized into discrete spectral lines displaying the detailed internal quantum structure of the Mercury atom.  Clearly the fluorescent bulb lighting industry research is or should be included on the sum of quantum research.  Note that Mercury and other spectral lamps have been around for 100 years.  The news?  Transistors, ubiquitous in electronics, would not function as they do if the electronic structure of the semiconductor substrate materials was not quantized.  So include transistor research.  Lasers would not work without material and field quantization.  All laser research is included. Etc.
