Quantum Science at Argonne: Jessica Barbosa Martins Explains Quantum Tunneling

Подробнее о видео

We love that Marvel’s Ant-Man has helped spread the coolness of quantum beyond the lab and into movie theaters. We’re tipping our hats to this tiny wonder with a series of videos that help fans explore the science behind the sci-fi.

In “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” the characters harness mysterious quantum properties like quantum tunneling to move through matter and even journey into the quantum realm. Join researcher Jessica Barbosa Martins in Argonne’s quantum realm to explore these spooky phenomena.

At Argonne, Jessica Barbosa Martins is a postdoctoral appointee. She uses the Advanced Photon Source to investigate properties of materials for quantum technologies and how they affect qubit lifetimes. Her investigations harness advanced X-ray probes, from photoelectron spectroscopies to surface diffraction.
