Book Progress: Quantum Communications

 Seven of the fifteen chapters in our next book, "Quantum Communications", are ready for local students to use/review. With this momentum, the book should be 2/3 ready in a week. Aiming for 4/5 finished by Dec. 19, then completion of alpha release quality over New Year's.

Sometime in Q1 2023, I expect to open up a PDF for wide review and the git repository for pull requests for corrections or contributions. With luck, the completed book, at least at strong beta reader level, will be on the arXiv April-ish.

The book will be Creative Commons, CC-BY-SA. People will be encouraged to contribute to our version, recompile or restructure for their own local use, or translate into other languages.

Keio and the Japanese government pay me to create knowledge, but it does no good if it's not shared, and I want it to go much farther than just the students of Keio and the other elite Japanese universities. Intel is also providing us with support for education. Let's work toward a high-quality, online, flexible, supported, inclusive, highly available quantum curriculum with global reach, including language.
