The online PDF version of the 8th edition of the book “Understanding Quantum Technologies” is available since September 29th. As I do every year, I continue to update the book, first to publish it on arXiv which I did late October. On top of many small updates, I added a small section on the “Making […]

Microsoft captured quantum news headlines on February 19, 2025 by publishing an arXiv blueprint for its future fault-tolerant quantum computers (FTQCs) using Majorana fermions, a Nature paper about the measurement of Majorana Zero Modes (MZMs) in a chip containing the equivalent of half a physical topological qubit, and then a press release summarizing the whole and introducing […]
