Citation counts continue to defy my expectations.

I didn't know Ed Jaynes, but the closing passage of Larry Bretthorst's biographical essay gives a vivid sense of what he was like: "His friendship was hard to earn, and hard to keep, for he had little tolerance for incompetence.

@overleaf Thanks. I seem to have fewer issues when I use Chrome rather than Firefox.

"While Willow represents an advance in technology with its reduced error rates, the promise of quantum computing is still years off."

Congratulations to all who contributed to the advances in quantum error correction recognized by the @PhysicsWorld Breakthrough of the Year.

The career of Sadi Carnot reminds us of how scientific and technological advances drive one another.
