Abstract
Quantum transduction, the process of converting quantum signals from one form of energy to another, is an important area of quantum science and technology. The present perspective article reviews quantum transduction between microwave and optical photons, an area that has recently seen a lot of activity and progress because of its relevance for connecting superconducting quantum processors over long distances, among other applications. Our review covers the leading approaches to achieving such transduction, with an emphasis on those based on atomic ensembles, opto-electro-mechanics, and electro-optics. We briefly discuss relevant metrics from the point of view of different applications, as well as challenges for the future.

Acknowledgement
During the writing of this article we became aware of another review of quantum transduction with somewhat different emphasis [99].
We would like to thank the participants of the transduction workshop at Caltech in September 2018 for helpful and stimulating discussions. We particularly thank John Bartholomew, Andrei Faraon, Johannes Fink, Jeff Holzgrafe, Linbo Shao, Marko Lončar, Daniel Oblak, and Oskar Painter.
