Quantum technologies A.D. 2020 - expectations vs. reality
Quantum computers, quantum cryptography, quantum sensors and quantum internet are just a couple of highlight concepts of the rapidly developing field of quantum technologies. We have made a long journey from the times when many physicists believed that we will never be able to manipulate, control and observe individual quantum systems. Nevertheless, we are still at the point were quantum devices are more a technological curiosity rather than practical and robust commercial products. There are a few challenges we still need to overcome to make the quantum technology dream come true and they seem... not to be completely hopeless.
