Quantum news roundup

 With quantum technology, the electronics industry is in a similar position to the 1970s with the emergence of silicon for integrated circuits. Back then there were multiple different semiconductor materials and architectures being explored to implement integrated circuits with different levels of funding, until the industry focussed on CMOS. 

The quantum industry is in a similar situation, with different approached from ion trap to photonics. Here are just some of my more popular articles and interviews with leading players on the technology
