Over the last decade, semiconductor quantum technologies have emerged as a focal point of global research and developed with remarkable speed. The research varies from initialization, control and readout of qubits, to the architecture of fault tolerant quantum computing. In this paper we first introduce the basic ideas of quantum computing.Subsequently we delve into the challenges that confront the quantum computing landscape and how they can be tackled using semiconductor technologies and already widely used classical electronics technologies. Finally, we address the advantages of spin qubits in semiconductor platforms, emphasizing their scalability and reduced susceptibility to decoherence, the main challenges in quantum computing.
