In this original work on the history of Citroen, from 1878, the birth of the founder to the integration of the Citroen brand within PSA then Stellantis, Joel Broustail constructs a transversal historical story, from the personality of Andre Citroen to the constitution of a global industrial group, including the upheavals of History, from the Belle Epoque to the 21st century. He describes in particular Citroenism as a particular historical expression of automobile fascination, among other automobile religions of the 20th century. It analyzes, based on Citroen, the issue of innovation in business strategies. He contrasts Michelins management of the Citroen company (from 1935 to 1974) with Peugeots management of the Citroen brand since 1974, which led to an erosion of the brands image, further accelerated since its integration into Stellantis.Based on a meticulous story, supported by numerous sources and an abundant statistical apparatus, this multidisciplinary work integrates technological dimensions, with a detailed study of the technical choices made by Citroen, as well as financial ones, with the analysis of financial and accounting documents, cultural and societal dynamics, with the place of the automobile in society and the imagination, political forces, from the dominant anti-Semitism of the first 20th century to industrial public policies, etc.At the end of this long story, of the rise and fall of Andre Citroen to PSA and Stellantis via Michelin, from the Belle Epoque to the 21st century via the Trente Glorieuses, the author engages in a broader reflection on the challenge of innovation in an economy of the common good, especially in the French and European mature environment: what reflections and hypotheses can we draw from this historical and industrial saga for the economist or politician? How, in particular, can we reconcile entrepreneurial freedom, economic dynamism and the contemporary imperatives of universal social protection and sustainable development?Joel BROUSTAIL, professor at Sorbonne University and researcher at SIRICE (Sorbonne - Identities, international relations and civilizations of Europe), is the author of numerous publications, from the history of religious minorities to the diffusion of innovations. He has held various responsibilities, notably in Asia and the Middle East, and teaches in several international universities.An alumnus of the Ecole Normale Superieure, HEC Paris and the Sorbonne, he holds an Agregation (French highest teaching qualification) both in History and Management as well as a Ph.D in Business Administration.

From Qubits to Quantum Advantage is a technically grounded introduction to quantum computing for security professionals, engineers, researchers, and advanced students seeking a clear and realistic understanding of this emerging technology.Written by Jeremy Green, an experienced security architect, author, and PhD researcher, this book explains how quantum computing works in practice, without hype, speculation, or unnecessary mathematics. It focuses on the physical principles, computational models, and architectural constraints that define what quantum computers can, and cannot, do today.The book takes the reader from first principles to real-world implications, covering the foundations required to reason accurately about quantum-enabled risk, opportunity, and future capability.Inside, you will explore: What qubits are and how superposition, entanglement, and measurement are used computationally How quantum computing differs from classical computing at a fundamental level Quantum circuits, gates, and the realities of quantum hardware Key quantum algorithms, including Shors and Grovers, and their implications for cryptography The NISQ era, error correction, and the challenges of fault-tolerant quantum systems Practical applications in optimisation, cybersecurity, and machine learning Public industry roadmaps from IBM, Microsoft, and Quantinuumexamined critically rather than speculatively Drawing on over 120 academic sources, the book bridges theory and practice, demystifying quantum mechanics while remaining firmly grounded in engineering and operational reality. It is not a pop-science overview, nor a purely mathematical text, but a structured foundation for professionals who need to understand quantum computing beyond headlines and hype.This book serves as a conceptual precursor to Quantum Security, establishing the technical understanding required to assess cryptographic risk, governance challenges, and the long-term security impact of quantum technologies.
