Quantum Science at Argonne: Gregory Grant talks about growing crystals for quantum teleportation

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.

“Ant-Man” movies are full of high-tech gadgets that let Scott Lang shrink to explore the quantum realm. Join quantum materials expert Gregory Grant for a look at the marvelous machines and materials in Argonne’s quantum realm.

Gregory Grant is a fourth-year Ph.D. student at the University of Chicago Pritzker School for Molecular Engineering. At the University of Chicago and Argonne, he studies the quantum behavior of atoms and light to develop materials for quantum memory and quantum communication. He is an avid fan of sci-fi and always enjoys a good bout of well-constructed technobabble.
