The design luminosity of the machine is 8×10^{35} cm^{−2}s^{−1} and the Belle II experiment aims to record 50 ab^{−1} of data, a factor of 50 more than its predecessor. With this data set, Belle II will be able to measure the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, the matrix elements and their phases, with unprecedented precision and explore flavor physics with B and charmed mesons, and τ leptons. Belle II has also a unique capability to search for low mass dark matter and low mass mediators. We also expect exciting results in quarkonium physics with Belle II. In this presentation, we will review the status of the Belle II detector, the results of the planned measurements with the full available Belle II data set, and the prospects for physics at Belle II 000002350 8560_ $$fdjaffe@bnl.gov 000002350 8564_ $$uhttps://docs.belle2.org/record/2350/files/BELLE2-TALK-CONF-2021-023.pdf
