The field of generative artificial intelligence is currently dominated by the large language model chatbots like ChatGPT. This platform was first introduced to Internet users in late 2022 with its 3.5 version. Launched in spring 2023, the 4.0 version has since then attracted hundred million users.
My initial engagement with ChatGPT 3.5 yielded underwhelming results. However, an in-depth exploration of ChatGPT 4.0 and Google’s Bard revealed a broader spectrum of applications in quantum science than I thought were possible. These AI tools were useful in very various contexts ranging from explaining quantum physics concepts, facilitating software coding tasks to preparing various content for my own teachings.

Here is Understanding Quantum technologies 2023, the 6th edition of this book and the third in English. As all my book, it is a free to download book without any questions. It beats another record of mine with 1,366 pages, split in three volumes for e-readers and a paperback edition available on many Amazon sites.
It is probably the most thorough book on the matter covering so many dimensions (history, science, technology, hardware/software, usages, societal, political) and for all quantum technologies (computing, telecommunications, cryptography, sensing, quantum matter). It is a very large book but it can also be considered as a collection of more reasonable books: one on quantum physics (140 pages), another on quantum computing hardware (344 pages), one on quantum computing programming, software tools and case studies (270 pages), yet another one on quantum communication and cryptography (94 pages), on quantum sensing (49 pages, we are here in the “novel” format), on quantum geopolitics (99 pages), a directory of quantum industry vendors (665 are described in the book), etc. But they are all tied together in a consistent manner!

J’ai récemment enregistré deux entretiens sur le quantique, dans des formats longs que j’affectionne, à l’image des podcasts que j’anime avec Fanny Bouton.
Le premier, en anglais, avec Joannes Vermorel, fondateur et CEO de Lokad, une société spécialisée dans les applications du machine learning et la data science dans le domaine de la supply chain, Quantum Computing and Enterprise Software (with Olivier Ezratty) – Ep 142, 22 mars 2023 (1h51) où je décris de nombreux aspects du sujet, y compris mon propre parcours initiatique dans le domaine, et en faisant le lien avec d’autres domaines que j’ai pu explorer, comme celui de l’intelligence artificielle. C’est l’occasion de faire un point aussi réaliste que possible de l’état de l’art du calcul quantique. Joannes m’avait déjà accueilli pour l’épisode 13 en 2019 pour évoquer les mythes et réalités des startups.
