There is redundancy within the listing, as some stories and press releases may appear under different titles from different sources or be secondary articles. This collection complements the newsletter. It contains additional links, but it does not include commentary, nor is it a tightly curated list of the most significant, interesting, or humorous recent quantum content.

Dancing with Qubits, Second Edition, is a comprehensive quantum computing textbook that starts with an overview of why quantum computing is so different from classical computing and describes several industry use cases where it can have a major impact. A full description of classical computing and the mathematical underpinnings of quantum computing follows, helping you better understand concepts such as superposition, entanglement, and interference. Next up are circuits and algorithms, both basic and sophisticated, as well as a survey of the physics and engineering ideas behind how quantum computing hardware is built. Finally, the book looks to the future and gives you guidance on understanding how further developments may affect you.
