Quantum technologies for future scientific research Abstract = We briefly review the current status of quantum information science and some of the most promising applications of quantum technologies for future research. We present the challenges faced by quantum simulators, a class of quantum hardware dedicated to simulate highly interesting but hardly accessible physics: from models to study for high-Tc superconductors or topological systems, to critical systems, quantum chemistry or lattice gauge theories. Alongside, we present the tensor network methods, a classical numerical approach that promise to become a powerful tool accompanying future quantum simulations and computations, providing guidance, benchmarking and verification of simulation results.
