Physics World Quantum Science & Technologies Briefing 2021

In this free-to-read Physics World Quantum Science & Technologies Briefing we have tried to balance dreams with milestones. The section on quantum computing includes articles on most major qubit types, some of which are currently much further along the developmental road than others. Articles on quantum materials and quantum simulation explore devices and techniques that could have important near-term implications for scientific research, if not yet for commercial products. Finally, a section on quantum fundamentals reminds us that the future of quantum science may lie in areas we’ve barely even dreamed about.
