Dear Reader, Since the launch of our journal Advanced Quantum Technologies (QUTE for short) in 2018, we have been witnessing plenty of very promising research initiatives and activities in the diverse fields of quantum science, quantum materials, and quantum technologies. Key questions like “Where is quantum technology taking us? What are challenges and perspectives?” led our Editorial Advisor Rainer Blatt to edit a special issue Advancing Quantum Technologies – Chances and Challenges that we published in November 2020 (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/25119044/2020/3/11). It broadly showcases how to master quantum phenomena for communication, metrology, sensing, simulation, and computation purposes. In a related virtual mini-symposium Rainer Blatt invited the authors Christoph Becher, Dagmar Bruss, Klemens Hammerer, Dieter Meschede, Christian Ospelkaus, and Robert Raussendorf to share their visions of the quantum future, which culminated in a vivid discussion (https://www.workcast.com/register?cpak=6284277449925096). Yet another recent quantum science webinar targeting a large Chinese audience featured our authors Tongcang Li and Yongjian Han who gave talks on quantum simulation in optical systems and quantum spin optomechanics, respectively. Further activities are being planned for 2021 in order to stay in close contact with the quantum community even during the pandemic. Earlier in 2020 Mohamed Benyoucef, Anthony Bennett, Stephan Götzinger, and Chaoyang Lu threw the spotlight on Photonic Quantum Technologies by editing a special issue (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/25119044/2020/3/2). The topics addressed include hybrid integration of single-photon emitters, cavity QED and light–matter interactions at the nanoscale, on-chip integration of entangled photon sources, and incorporating color centers into nanophotonic structures. Fabrication of suspended converters, single-photon emission at the telecom wavelength, molecule-based single-photon sources, quantum emitter–plasmonic cavity coupling, vertically coupled quantum dot systems, and optomechanical coupling are also discussed. We are happy to announce that our young and growing journal is being indexed in Web of Science. We are confident that the enhanced visibility of QUTE will trigger increasing submission numbers and a growing impact on the thriving field of quantum science and technology.

2019 promises to be a crucial year for the emerging field of quantum technologies. On the funding side, the Quantum Technologies Flagship of the European Union has kicked off with the first 20 projects,1 and the total funding is expected to reach €1bn over the coming decade.2 Other world regions are not being left behind: In the US, Congress has recently passed the National Quantum Initiative Act, likewise a 10-year program with a budget of $1.3bn. This bold concept is accompanied by further support from government agencies such as the DOE and NSF. Research activities are being intensified not only in academia and research laboratories but also in the R&D centers of giant corporations such as Google, IBM, Microsoft and in many other companies. A key goal is to couple ever more qubits and to demonstrate a working quantum computer that will be able to achieve the ‘holy grail’ of quantum supremacy in computational power – if not yet today or tomorrow, then certainly in the years to come. Last but not least, the Chinese government has announced the provision of no less than $10bn to create a National Laboratory for Quantum Information Sciences. China has already taken crucial steps in creating a quantum network, including satellite-based communication. So, clearly the world is not short of opportunities in pursuing new and exciting quantum science, as well as its applications. On the other hand, it is more than obvious that there are still many fundamental scientific questions to be solved, not to speak of the development of real technologies that are still in their infancy to be implemented on a broader scale. Our journal Advanced Quantum Technologies (QUTE) (www.advquantumtech.com), a young member of the renowned Advanced journal family published by Wiley-VCH, aims to provide a peer-reviewed high quality forum for these topics, ranging from the theoretical basics to future device applications. Key areas include quantum-based communication, computation, control, engineering, information, metrology, optics, sensing and simulation, as well as adjacent areas such as nanophotonics, quasiparticle excitations, topological materials, superconductors, micro- and nano-electromechanical systems, ultracold atoms and others. The first three issues published in 2018 already provided a glimpse of our intended broad topical spectrum, with Reviews on continuous-variable quantum key distribution,3 non-equilibrium Bose–Einstein-like condensation4 and integrated quantum photonics based on diamond,5 accompanied by original research contributions as Communications or Full Papers. Now, what do we have in store for the New Year: The present issue features, for example, a Review on topological insulators and semimetals for magnetoresistive sensors6 and a Progress Report on the Dicke model being relevant for quantum optics.7 Later during 2019, we also plan to present two special issues on the topics of Quantum Machine Learning and Photonic Quantum Technologies that will aim to provide a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in these respective fields. Most importantly, please be reminded that the journal is open for original research submissions at www.editorialmanager.com/advquantumtech as well as your proposals for review-type contributions that you may send to advquantumtech@wiley.com at any time. We will also use forthcoming conference opportunities such as the APS March Meeting in Boston, several DPG (German Physical Society) meetings as well as various events in Asia to meet with you personally to get to know your research, to invite you to submit as well to learn more about the publication needs of the quantum community. Feel free to get in touch with us through any physical or virtual channel! For those of you who might be new to our journals: Online submission and online publication (no print) in QUTE are completely cost-free, and the journal is also free-to-read for anybody during the whole year. If you would like to make use of open-access options, Wiley OnlineOpen with various open access licenses is available through an increasing number of national, consortial or funder agreements (such as the ‘DEAL’ soon to be implemented in Germany8) or via payment of the respective article publication charge by your institution or funder. Details are provided in the ‘Contribute’ section of our homepage. You may also post a preprint of your manuscript to arXiv.org or similar servers, or to a scientific collaboration network that is compliant with the STM sharing principles.9 When doing so, please make sure that the journal reference is always up to date, including the DOI and/or URL of your journal-published article. More information on general article sharing principles is available on howcanishareit.com. These should help you to achieve maximum visibility both of your newest publication and of our young journal, as will news stories on selected top content on our news portal advancedsciencenews.com. We look forward to exciting quantum times and to reading (or hearing) from you! The Editorial Team of Advanced Quantum Technologies
