In this talk I will provide a high level overview of the various modules that go into the design of a fault-tolerant quantum computer. I will use photonic quantum computers as a working example. Processes include state preparation, choice of computing model, quantum error correction, to list a few. I will also highlight some of the pressing open problems and challenges that lie ahead even from a theoretical point of view. Building low-error logical qubits in a scalable (modular) way remains the single core challenge impeding the deployment of usable quantum computing.
