| Abstract |
We are currently witnessing what is called "the second quantum revolution", in the
wake of which the control over individual quantum constituents has become possible.
In this colloquium, I will highlight how this ability enables the engineering---from
the bottom up---of quantum devices that promise to help in computing the dynamics of
interesting quantum many-body systems. I will showcase the recent progress in the
field using examples from quantum biology and subatomic physics. I will also briefly
illustrate salient challenges and further promising near-term applications of
quantum devices, such as solving questions about the dynamics of proteins. With
these examples, I hope to give a glimpse at the current exciting progress and the
fascinating future potential of quantum technologies.
