The Next Quantum Leap: Here, There, and Everywhere | 2015

Often viewed as “spooky” or downright bizarre, quantum mechanics is fueling a powerful new era of amazing technology. In this program, today’s top quantum physicists discuss the information shake-up underway—and predict when we can expect a quantum computer of our own.

This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.
