Introducing the collection of articles, Dr. Max Riedel and Professor Tommasso Calarco note: "Within the last two decades, quantum technologies have made tremendous progress, moving from Nobel Prize-winning experiments on quantum physics into a cross-disciplinary field of applied research.

"One success factor for the rapid advancement of is a well-aligned global research community with a common understanding of the challenges and goals. In Europe, this community has profited from several EC funded coordination projects, which, among other things, have coordinated the creation of a quantum technology roadmap.

"We hope this updated summary proves useful to our colleagues in the research community, as well as anyone with a broader interest in the progress of technology."
