Information technology based on the fundamental nature of the universe, namely quantum physics, can in some cases dramatically outperform the best “classical” solution. In other words, a quantum computer will be important someday. But the challenges are still immense. Somewhat surprisingly, silicon may continue to be an exceptionally relevant material even into a future era of quantum-enhanced technology. Here I will discuss progress in silicon quantum computing and related semiconductor-based devices touching on my own research interests and highlighting experimental results across the community.
