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.

Terrorists use spoken and written words to communicate, too. Guess we better outlaw verbal communication, eh? They also breathe. We should do something about that pesky oxygen in the air. And gee, they eat ...
