Think Quantum!

What you need to know about the Quantum revolution in 2025

with Jaimie Greasley, University of Victoria

Summary

The United Nations has declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. For 100 years, quantum mechanics has been reshaping our understanding of reality—revealing a world where particles can exist in two states at once and influence each other instantly across space. Let’s unravel how quantum weirdness is driving the new era of quantum computing and changing the future of science and technology as we know it.
