  "abstract": "We prove that every del Pezzo surface of degree two over a finite field is unirational, building on the work of Manin and an extension by Salgado, Testa, and V\\'arilly-Alvarado, who had proved this for all but three surfaces. Over general fields of characteristic not equal to two, we state sufficient conditions for a del Pezzo surface of degree two to be unirational.",
