DESCRIPTION:The Quantum Revolution: Emerging Technologies at the Atomic sca
 le\n\nTraditional electronics are rapidly approaching the length scale of a
 toms and molecules. In this regime\, a single atom out of place can have ou
 tsized negative consequences and so scaling down classical technologies req
 uires ever-more perfect control of materials. Surprisingly\, one of the mos
 t promising pathways out of this conundrum may emerge from current efforts 
 to embrace these atomic ‘defects’ to construct devices that enable new info
 rmation processing\, communication\, and sensing technologies based on the 
 quantum nature of electrons and atomic nuclei. In addition to their charge\
 , individual defects in semiconductors and molecules possess an electronic 
 spin state that can be employed as a quantum bit. These qubits can be manip
 ulated and read using a simple combination of light and microwaves with a b
 uilt-in optical interface and retain their quantum properties over millisec
 ond to second timescales. With these foundations in hand\, we discuss emerg
 ing opportunities and the importance of collaborating with industry to atom
 ically-engineer qubits for nuclear memories\, entangled registers\, sensors
  and networks for science and technology.
