For convenience of synthesis, we summarize in a table a short list of objectives for the next and more distant future of quantum computing and quantum communication (the internal ordering of such lists does not necessarily reflect chronology). The great diversity and openness of the field of quantum information theory prevents from drawing a similar list for that particular subfield.

 

Quantum Computing

Quantum Communication
