Quantum Century Symposium & Vernissage

The University of Zurich invites to a public symposium with accessible talks covering the past, present, and future of quantum physics as well as its philosophical underpinnings.

Leading scientists will tell how they use one of the most successful theories known to mankind for their everyday work, how the second quantum revolution will influence our lives with ground breaking technology, and why we still struggle to understand how quantum mechanics works.
