Surfacing from being submerged by other responsibilities (including jury duty today), I wanted to point out two paper.

This preprint (based on a talk at the Solvay Conference - the 2022 one, not the 1927 one) from John Preskill provides a nice overview of quantum information, at a very accessible level for non-experts. It’s nice seeing this perspective.

This paper is much more technical and nitty-gritty. I’ve written before about my curiosity concerning how good the performance would be of quantum computing devices made with the process control and precision of modern state-of-the-art semiconductor fab. Here is a look at superconducting qubits made with a CMOS compatible process, using ebeam lithography and other steps developed for 300 mm wafer fabrication.

More soon….
