Conversations on the Quantum World: Storytelling and Science

Conversations on the Quantum World: Storytelling and Science

Caltech physicist Spiros Michalakis and Hollywood screenwriter Ed Solomon will chat with Caltech science writer (and science fiction devotee) Whitney Clavin about how they collaborate to make science shine in film and television scripts, and the many similarities between the creative and scientific processes. Learn how core quantum concepts like entanglement can inform out-there cinematic concepts from time travel to the multiverse.

Quantum science emerged from studies of the smallest objects in nature. Today, it promises to deepen our understanding of the universe and deliver groundbreaking technology, from quantum computers to ultra-precise measuring devices to next-generation materials, with many of these advances happening at Caltech.

In Conversations on the Quantum World, you will hear directly from Caltech experts about the next quantum revolution and have the opportunity to ask your own questions.

Spiros Michalakis, Manager of Outreach and Staff Researcher, Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at Caltech
