 tum Network for Distributing and Controlling Entanglement on a Metro-Scale
 \n\nWu, Chung, Kanter, Lauk, Valivarthi...\n\nWe describe an implementatio
 n of a quantum network over installed fiber in the Chicago area. We presen
 t network topology and control architecture of this network and illustrate
  preliminary results for quantum teleportation and coexistence of quantum 
 and classical  data on the same fiber link.\n\n---------------------\nScal
 able Programming Workflows for Validation of Quantum Computers\n\nPooser, 
 Nguyen, Humble\n\nHybrid quantum-classical workflows have become standard 
 methods for executing variational algorithms and other quantum simulation 
 techniques, which are key applications for noisy intermediate scale quantu
