| Summary:
In the worldwide endeavor for disruptive quantum technologies, germanium is
emerging as a versatile material to realize devices capable of encoding,
processing, or transmitting quantum information. These devices leverage special
properties of the germanium valence-band states, commonly known as holes, such
as their inherently strong spin-orbit coupling and the ability to host
superconducting pairing correlations. In this Review, we initially introduce
the physics of holes in low-dimensional germanium structures with key insights
from a theoretical perspective. We then examine the material science progress
underpinning germanium-based planar heterostructures and nanowires. We review
the most significant experimental results demonstrating key building blocks for
quantum technology, such as an electrically driven universal quantum gate set
with spin qubits in quantum dots and superconductor-semiconductor devices for
hybrid quantum systems. We conclude by identifying the most promising prospects
toward scalable quantum information processing.
