Quantum #42

I hope you’ve all had a good break and welcome back and to 2025. Here’s to looking forward to a great year for HPC 🎉  (I know we have a few big things in store).

Things are, as to be expected, pretty quiet on the news front this week though we do have our own roundup of most popular stories from 2024 and while not the usual predictions for 2025 a longer piece on some things I’d like to see in HPC (this year? That might be pushing my luck).
