One of the more interesting facts coming out of the Sciencewatch survey of quantum computing citations was that Nature has published 169 journal articles on quantum computing while Science has published 84 such articles (or at least these are the numbers reported in the survey and it is not clear that the survey is in any sense “complete.”) When I first saw this I thought it was probably just a fact that Science doesn’t like quantum computing as much as Nature. But a conversation at the APS march meeting with a science journalist made me question this.
O brave new quantum world!
