In this talk, I will discuss recent advances in quantum computing with hole-spin qubits, focusing on planar germanium platforms. These systems provide electrically tunable spin properties, occasionally) strong spin-orbit interactions, and compatibility with superconducting hybrid circuits, making them well suited for scaling quantum architectures. I will highlight new progresses in engineering the spin response in these platforms, progress in fast baseband electrical control of gapless qubits, high-fidelity readout schemes based on Andreev qubits, illustrating the potential of germanium-based devices for scalable quantum processors.
