Abstract
In this perspective article, we explore some of the promising spin and topology material platforms (e.g., spins in semiconductors and superconductors, skyrmionic, topological, and two-dimensional materials) being developed for such quantum components as qubits, superconducting memories, sensing, and metrological standards, and discuss their figures of merit. Spin- and topology-related quantum phenomena have several advantages, including high coherence time, topological protection and stability, low error rate, relative ease of engineering and control, and simple initiation and readout. However, the relevant technologies are at different stages of research and development, and here, we discuss their state-of-the-art, potential applications, challenges, and solutions.
