Physical Society Colloquium

There are many experiments being done now, in atomic physics, quantum optics, nuclear and electron magnetic resonance, superconducting electronics, and quantum-dot structures, pointed towards realizing a quantum computer. I will discuss five requirements that these systems need to meet if they are to succeed. I will discuss recent innovations in the quantum dot and quantum optics approaches.
