This book covers many major developments in quantum computing, but the field is still young, and there will no doubt be many more developments in the future. These future developments will include research discoveries, of course, but they will also include trends in industry, surges in media coverage, and tides of public interest. This appendix describes tools that can help you track quantum developments of all kinds.
KEEPING ABREAST OF POPULAR NEWS
There are scores of newspapers, magazines, and other popular news sources, any one of which might run a story about the newest quantum development. How will you know if one does? You can keep an eye on your favorite news sources, but you will miss many stories that way. A better tactic is to use a news aggregator, such as Google News (http://news.google.com/), which allows you to search current and past stories from a multitude of news sources. You can add Google News to your stable of frequently visited sites, but the most efficient way to use it is to set up an alert or RSS feed and let the news come to you. After you perform a Google News search that yields good results, simply click “Alerts” to set up an alert that will notify you by e-mail of new stories that satisfy your search. Alternatively, click “RSS” to set up an RSS feed that will deliver those stories directly to your RSS reader.
