  - "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\r\ntoward scalable quantum information processing. @eng"
