Living In A Quantum World

A public roundtable, 5:30-7:30 PM, Thursday, April 18 We live in a quantum world. But what exactly does that mean? How is it that the very matter of our existence is quantum, yet this fundamental aspect remains unseen in our daily lives? Furthermore, what potential does quantum physics have in bringing transformative technologies into society? This round table aims to demystify these questions by hosting a panel of distinguished experts. These thought leaders will share their insights and predict the revolutionary changes that quantum physics is set to bring to our world and our understanding of it.
