Quantum computing is a technology forever a few years away, always on the cusp of its prime time.

But it is finally starting to feel a little closer, as more systems start shipping to research labs and governments. While quantum computers aren't quite ready for the world, it's time for the world to get ready for them.

In issue #60 of DCD Magazine, out now, we take a look at the state of quantum chip design and manufacturing. The industry is at a crossroads, with some pushing for a completely different approach to chip designs, built from the ground up for the superconducting world. Others call this unnecessary, costly, and difficult to run.

Instead, they argue, why not build upon the billions spent developing traditional CMOS hardware and find a way to make this silicon enter the quantum realm? For our cover feature, we speak to some of the big players in the space to discover what the future holds.
