Chitambar group establishes criterion for nonlocal quantum behavior in networks
From the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign: In a study published in Physical Review Letters, Q-NEXT thrust lead Eric Chitambar and Amanda Gatto Lamas adapt techniques from quantum computing theory to create a new classification scheme for quantum nonlocality. This not only allowed the researchers to unify prior studies of the concept into a common framework, but it facilitated a proof that networked quantum systems can display nonlocality only if they possess a particular set of quantum features.

Who cares about quantum?
From Direct Current: "Quantum" is everywhere these days — in the news, on TV, in the titles of blockbuster action films — but what even is it? Why is it important to understand it? Who cares about quantum? The Department of Energy gets philosophical with David Awschalom about scientists' brain-bending research, the massive impacts it could have on our lives, and the joy and frustration of chasing breakthroughs that can take decades to arrive.
