Argonne OutLoud: Into the Quantum Realm

Подробнее о видео

The quantum realm portrayed in the film “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” may be fantastical, but it's no more bizarre than the quantum realm of our own universe.

On March 22, 2023, we took a two-part dive into the quantum universe.

First, real-life scientists Carol Scarlett and Martin Holt dug deep into how quantum is represented in film. What’s realistic? What’s fantasy? Will scientists be able to create the scenarios depicted in film?

Second, a quantum quiz show! Audience members took the stage to test their skill at separating quantum fact from quantum fiction – in the process, learning all about mind-boggling phenomena such as quantum tunneling, entanglement and superposition.
