    Colloidal quantum dots are often referred to as artificial atoms, primarily because of their atom-like electron energy spectrum. Like atoms, they can form ordered structures that are commonly referred to as quantum dot solids. In this focus we provide an overview of the electronic properties of quantum dot solids. In particular, we explore the developments that have led to the observation of high electron mobility, and the challenges and opportunities for the incorporation of quantum dot solids in optoelectronic devices.
