I feel very happy about this. Congrats!
BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit"

Stay tuned for more.

Happy to see our book "Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics" published in English www.panmacmillan.com/authors/fran.... Unlike other popular science books, we explain quantum and its applications in the way working physicists use and understand them, without shying away from the many-body problem.

check out our latest proposal: ns timescale gates for qubits with measured bit-flip times of seconds to hours: arxiv.org/abs/2504.04807 (this is based on DC flux pulses - no RF required!)

In our latest result we show single-shot superconducting qubit readout via radio over fibre.
=> No microwave equipment in the fridge!

All-optical superconducting qubit readout - Nature Physics
Microwaves are usually used to interact with superconducting qubits, but optical photons can be processed at room temperature. The electro-optical transceiver presented here allows all-optical readout...
