Penning traps allow charged particles to be confined for long periods, without the use of time-varying fields. This gives rise to many advantageous properties for quantum science. I will give an overview of the fundamental aspects of trapping and operation of Penning traps, as well as describing applications to precision measurement, quantum simulation, and finally quantum computation.
