While many of us were preoccupied with ISC 2017 last week, the launch of the Chicago Quantum Exchange went largely unnoticed. So what is such a thing? It is a Department of Energy sponsored collaboration between the University of Chicago, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and Argonne National Laboratory to "facilitate the exploration of quantum information and the development of new applications with the potential to dramatically improve technology for communication, computing and sensing."
The new hub will be within within the Institute for Molecular Engineering (IME) at UChicago. Quantum mechanics, of course, governs the behavior of matter at the atomic and subatomic levels in exotic and unfamiliar ways compared to the classical physics used to understand the movements of everyday objects. The engineering of quantum phenomena could lead to new classes of devices and computing capabilities, permitting novel approaches to solving problems that cannot be addressed using existing technology.

Nuclear power was invented in Europe and I wouldn't advice any nuclear attack on Europe, no matter how much you'd like to destroy evidence of scientific appropriation.
True, it was first tested in Chicago but not for the purpose of generating power.
There [wordpress.com] - British patents - lodged 1934 - by a Hungarian scientist [wikipedia.org] educated in Germany.
First tested in lab conditions at Columbia University [wikipedia.org] by the same scientist in collaboration with a Canadian [wikipedia.org]
