“…PQDs possessing rich PL features are promising for single-photon emission applications only after meeting the stringent demands such as optical coherence and reduced fluorescent blinking as discussed below. For discussion on compatibility with electrical injection, the readers are referred to prior review articles [522,523] .…”

Quantum information science and engineering (QISE) which entails generation, control and manipulation of individual quantum mechanical states together with nanotechnology have dominated condensed matter physics and materials science research in the 21st century. Solid state devices for QISE have, to this point, predominantly been designed with bulk material as their constituents. In this review, we consider how nanomaterials or low-dimensional materials i.e. materials with intrinsic quantum confinement -may offer inherent advantages over conventional materials for QISE. We identify the materials challenges for specific types of qubits, and we identify how emerging nanomaterials may overcome these challenges. Challenges for and progress towards nanomaterials-based quantum devices are identified. We aim to help close the gap between the nanotechnology and quantum information communities and inspire research that will lead to next-generation quantum devices for scalable and practical quantum applications.

An increasing variety of crystal structures has been observed in soft condensed matter over the past two decades, surpassing most expectations for the diversity of arrangements accessible through classical driving forces. Here, we survey the structural breadth of mesoscopic crystals-formed by micellar systems, nanoparticles, colloids etc.-that have been observed both in soft matter experiments and coarse-grained self-assembly simulations. We review structure types that were found to mimic crystals on the atomic scale, as well as those that do not correspond to known geometries and seem to only occur on the mesoscale. While the number of crystal structure types observed in soft condensed matter still lags behind what is known from hard condensed matter, we hypothesize that the high tunability and diversity of building blocks that can be created on the nano-and microscale will render a structural variety that far exceeds that of atomic compounds, which are inevitably restricted by the "limitations" imposed by the periodic table of elements and by the properties of the chemical bond. An infusion of expertise in structural analysis from the field of crystallography into the soft condensed matter community will establish the common language necessary to report, compare, and organize the rapidly accruing structural knowledge gathered from simulations and experiments. The prospect of new materials created in soft matter and new, length-scale-spanning insights into the formation of ordered structures in both hard and soft condensed matter promise exciting new developments in the area of self-assembled mesoscale materials.
