Five minutes later I was escorted out for drunkenly screaming I was a cyborg from the future sent back in time to collect conference bagels for the cyborphans of my era.

That has to be one of the best uses of $6,000 I’ve seen in a while … it had to have put a smile on a couple thousand faces.

‘Quantum Internet’: Towards realization of solid-state quantum network
From physorg:
Researchers at TU Delft in the Netherlands have managed to bring two electrons, three meters from each other, into a quantum- entangled state. This result marks a major step towards realizing a quantum network that can be used to connect future quantum computers and to send information in a completely secure way by means of ‘teleportation’. The results have been published online on April 24 in Nature.
