Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me! IQuISE edition

Last night, Alex, Ed and I hosted the annual kickoff social event for IQuISE (MIT's Interdisciplinary Quantum Information Science and Engineering graduate program/community).

The planned fun activity for the evening was a QIS- and NPR- inspired pub quiz that I authored.  Here's a snippet from the Listener Limerick Challenge section about QIS in the (very recent) news: 


Send a light beam through Rubidum vapor
its photons get mass by Rydberg mediator
With big metaphors
Lukin referenced Star Wars
And CBS writes “Scientists Create Real ______” 

By popular request, I've uploaded the evening's script with answers and without.

Enjoy!
