World Science Festival | Here, There, and Everywhere: The Next Quantum Leap

• Science & Health

Often viewed as “spooky” or downright bizarre, quantum theory is fueling a powerful new era of amazing technology. For the first time ever, quantum cryptography has created an “unbreakable code.” In quantum teleportation, physicists are breaking new distance records each year. And in the world of computation, scientists are inching closer to that elusive breakthrough—the universal quantum computer. Today’s top quantum physicists discuss the information shake-up underway—and predict when we can expect a quantum computer of our own.
