Within the last two decades, Quantum Technologies (QT) have made tremendous progress, moving from Noble Prize award-winning experiments on quantum physics into a cross-disciplinary field of applied research. Technologies are being developed now that explicitly address individual quantum states and make use of the strange quantum properties, such as superposition and entanglement. The field comprises four domains: Quantum Communication, Quantum Simulation, Quantum Computation, and Quantum Sensing and Metrology. One success factor for the rapid advancement of QT is a well-aligned global research community with a common understanding of the challenges and goals. In Europe, this community has profited from several coordination projects, which have orchestrated the creation of a 150-page QT Roadmap. This article presents an updated summary of this roadmap. Besides sections on the four domains of QT, we have included sections on Quantum Theory and Software, and on Quantum Control, as both are important areas of research that cut across all four domains. Each section, after a short introduction to the domain, gives an overview on its current status and main challenges and then describes the advances in science and technology foreseen for the next ten years and beyond.

The European Far-Infrared (FIR) Space Roadmap focuses on fundamental, yet still unresolved, astrophysical questions that can only be answered through a far-infrared space mission and gives an overview of the technology required to answer them. The document discusses topics ranging from Solar System and Planet Formation, Our Galaxy and nearby Galaxies and Distant Galaxies and Galaxy Evolution. The FIR Roadmap was open to comments from the wider astronomical community following a presentation during EWASS 2016.
In the 1960s, computer engineers had to address the tyranny of numbers problem in which improvements in computing and its applications required integrating an increasing number of electronic components. From the first computers powered by vacuum tubes to the billions of transistors fabricated on a single microprocessor chip today, transformational advances in integration have led to remarkable processing performance and new unforeseen applications in computing. Today, quantum scientists and engineers are facing similar integration challenges. Research labs packed with benchtop components, such as tunable lasers, tables filled with optics, and racks of control hardware, are needed to prepare, manipulate, and read out quantum states from a modest number of qubits. Analogous to electronic circuit design and fabrication nearly five decades ago, scaling quantum systems (i.e. to thousands or millions of components and quantum elements) with the required functionality, high performance, and stability will only be realized through novel design architectures and fabrication techniques that enable the chip-scale integration of electronic and quantum photonic integrated circuits (QPIC). In the next decade, with sustained research, development, and investment in the quantum photonic ecosystem (i.e. PIC-based platforms, devices and circuits, fabrication and integration processes, packaging, and testing and benchmarking), we will witness the transition from single- and few-function prototypes to the large-scale integration of multi-functional and reconfigurable QPICs that will define how information is processed, stored, transmitted, and utilized for quantum computing, communications, metrology, and sensing. This roadmap highlights the current progress in the field of integrated quantum photonics, future challenges, and advances in science and technology needed to meet these challenges.
Quantum based technologies have been fundamental in our world. After producing the laser and the transistor, the devices that have shaped our modern information society, the possibilities enabled by the ability to create and manipulate individual quantum states opens the door to a second quantum revolution. In this paper we explore the possibilities that these new technologies bring to the Telecommu-nications industry
Atomtronics is an emerging field in quantum technology that promises to realize atomic circuit architectures exploiting ultra-cold atoms manipulated in versatile micro-optical circuits generated by laser fields of different shapes and intensities or micro-magnetic circuits known as atom chips. Although devising new applications for computation and information transfer is a defining goal of the field, Atomtronics wants to enlarge the scope of quantum simulators and to access new physical regimes with novel fundamental science. With this focus issue we want to survey the state of the art of Atomtronics-enabled Quantum Technology. We collect articles on both conceptual and applicative aspects of the field for diverse exploitations, both to extend the scope of the existing atom-based quantum devices and to devise platforms for new routes to quantum technology.
Recently, the European Commission supported by many European countries has announced large investments towards the commercialization of quantum technology (QT) to address and mitigate some of the biggest challenges facing todays digital era - e.g. secure communication and computing power. For more than two decades the QT community has been working on the development of QTs, which promise landmark breakthroughs leading to commercialization in various areas. The ambitious goals of the QT community and expectations of EU authorities cannot be met solely by individual initiatives of single countries, and therefore, require a combined European effort of large and unprecedented dimensions comparable only to the Galileo or Copernicus programs. Strong international competition calls for a coordinated European effort towards the development of QT in and for space, including research and development of technology in the areas of communication and sensing. Here, we aim at summarizing the state of the art in the development of quantum technologies which have an impact in the field of space applications. Our goal is to outline a complete framework for the design, development, implementation, and exploitation of quantum technology in space.
