Last week, on September 27, 2021, I published the first edition in English of the ebook “Understanding Quantum Technologies”. This thick 800 pages document covers in a 360° fashion all aspects of quantum technologies, from science and technology to business and societal matters.
As such, it is relevant for many different audiences. One of these are undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, in quantum physics and quantum information sciences but also any professional, particularly, IT specialists, who want to understand the whereabouts of quantum technologies, and particularly quantum computing. Policy makers can also find insights on where and how quantum technologies are being developped across the world and what underpinning societal issues must be dealt with.

Here is the ebook Understanding Quantum technologies 2021! A free 836 pages in-depth book provided in digital format (PDF). Yes, you got it right. It is not a joke. I will explain why.
Is it yet another ebook on quantum physics or quantum computing? Well, I hope not! It fills a lot of gaps found in the current literature. This ebook has been in the making for over three years now. It’s the fourth edition of an ebook initially published in French in three previous versions and now, for the first time, in English. Precisely, in American English, with flavors and colors instead of flavours and colours!

Dans un nouvel épisode de rentrée des podcasts Decode Quantum, Fanny Bouton et moi-même recevions Jean-Philip Piquemal. Il suivait le Decode Quantum enregistré avec Marc Porcheron d’EDF. Ce qui nous fait deux intervenants de suite sur la thématique des logiciels quantiques.
Jean-Philip Piquemal dirige le laboratoire de chimie théorique du CNRS et de Sorbonne Université à Jussieu, où il enseigne également comme professeur attitré. Il a une formation en chimie quantique de cette même université avec une thèse réalisée en 2004. Il a ensuite fait un post-doc au NIH (National Health Institute) aux USA. Il enseigne aussi à l’Université d’Austin au Texas.
