DESCRIPTION:Quantum science is coming to the neighborhood!.\nhttps://urban

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>When scientists begin to see how nature wo
 rks at the most fundamental levels\, they are able to revolutionize the wo
 rld. From MRI machines to GPS to the insides of your phone\, quantum scien
 ce is hard at work. It's time for people of all ages to have access to thi
 s scientific frontier in real time\, and imagine new possibilities for the
  21st century. That&rsquo\;s why the University of Illinois Urbana-Champai
 gn is partnering with The Urbana Free Library and the local nonprofit Urba
 na-Champaign Big Broadband (UC2B) to make real quantum connections over op
 tical fiber.</p>\n<p>Join us to celebrate the launch of the first publicly
  accessible quantum network in the nation. The Urbana Free Library is the 
 first connection to what will be a larger network across Champaign-Urbana 
 and the region. See for yourself how quantum particles can "affect" each o
 ther no matter the distance between them\, through a live demonstration of
  the experiment for which the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded in 2022. 
 Come on over\, do some science\, and help us build technologies of the fut
 ure. There will be activities for all ages from kids to adults. Refreshmen
 ts will be provided throughout.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;Event timeline:</p>\n<ul>\n
