The promise of processing information using entangled quantum superpositions has become one of the greatest modern scientific challenges. However, building a quantum computer involves the control of exotic hardware such as individual atoms, with electromagnetic control and modular scaling through photonic interconnections. This requires a new type of engineering with both academic and industrial efforts.
I will summarize the state-of-the-art in atomic quantum information systems in both settings, for highly programmable Hamiltonian quantum simulation and quantum circuit synthesis applied to many areas of science. Hopefully this scientific path will develop into commercial utility, just as conventional computers did the 20th century.
