While each advance may not always be a breakthrough, it is fair to say that the field has grown by leaps and bound in the last 20 years or so. Indeed, it has seen at least two \u201crevolutions\u201d since it first began and is now poised on the brink of a third, as scientific groups and companies around the world race to build the first quantum computer.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, some of the stalwarts of the field \u2013 including Peter Knight, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk\/people\/171\">Ian Walmsley<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smp.uq.edu.au\/node\/106\/19\">Gerard Milburn<\/a>, Stephen Till and <a href=\"http:\/\/astro.ic.ac.uk\/jpritchard\/home\">Jonathan Pritchard<\/a> \u2013 organized a two-day discussion meeting at the Royal Society in London, titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/royalsociety.org\/events\/2016\/05\/quantum-technology\/\">Quantum technology for the 21st century <\/a>\u201c, which I decided to attend. The meeting\u2019s main aim was to bring together academic and industry leaders \u201cin quantum physics and engineering to identify the next generation of quantum technologies for translational development\u201d. As Knight said during his opening speech, the time has come to \u201cbalance the massive leaps that the science has made with actual practical technology\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.physicsworld.com\/2016\/05\/12\/looking-toward-the-quantum-technology-landscape-of-the-future\/\">http:\/\/blog.physicsworld.com\/2016\/05\/12\/looking-toward-the-q...he-future\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quantum future discussed at London\u2019s Royal Society Conference.
