THE CONVERSATION
Last week, we were contacted by the online Media The Conversation which ambition is to turn knowledge and insights from academics into easy-to-read articles, and make them accessible to all readers by a straight collaboration between academics and journalists. 
They are very interested by Quantum information and we are all invited to contribute alone or building a small team from 2 to 5 people, with at least a senior researcher or choosing a subject related to your PhD project. The format is 8000 characters (2 pages).
If you are interested, please get back to us to organise your contribution.
