Okay this one from ScienceDaily made my day. No it made my week. The title is "Police Woman Fights Quantum Hacking And Cracking." Intriguing, no? Who is this mysterious police woman in quantum computing? I don't know many police offers involved in quantum computing, but yeah, maybe there is one who is doing cool quantum computing research ("cracking?" and "hacking?" btw.)
I open up the article and who is the police woman? It's Julia Kempe! Julia was a graduate student at Berkeley during the time I was there, a close collaborator of mine, and well, last time I checked, Julia described her job as "a senior lecturer (assistant professor) at the School of Computer Science at Tel-Aviv University" not as "policewoman working on quantum hacking and cracking." And here I was hoping that we'd have someone to arrest anyone making false claims about quantum mechanics!

Don't you get it? This is what happens to off-white quantum hackers in America. Let's step outside and talk to her "Mama." !!
