Conversation between a physicist (Rainer Blatt) and a filmmaker (Jaione Camborda)

18:00h "100 Years of Quantum Physics – And that´s just the Beginning" Rainer Blatt

100 years ago, quantum physics revolutionised our understanding of the world at a fundamental level. What was once considered a bizarre theory is now the basis for technologies that shape our everyday lives. In this talk, we will take you on an exciting journey through the history and into the future of quantum physics. We will explain how it was possible to penetrate the world of atoms and unravel their mysterious properties. How these discoveries have led to groundbreaking developments such as the transistor, the laser and GPS. 

But this is just the beginning: in the 21st century, we are witnessing the next quantum revolution. We take a look at the exciting advances in quantum technology and show how quantum computers could change the world. From developing new materials to solving complex problems, the possibilities seem endless. 

Immerse yourself in a fascinating journey from the beginnings of quantum mechanics to its latest applications and find out why the 21st century  is being hailed as the age of quantum technologies.

19:00h Conversation between a filmmaker Jaione Camborda and a physicist Rainer Blatt

The desire to know drives disparate processes and ways of proceeding within human activity. In this conversation between a physicist and a filmmaker we will have the opportunity to delve into the similarities and differences that occur between a scientific experiment and a film experiment. Jaione Camborda has produced a new piece for the exhibition “Quantum Visions” and for this she has collaborated with Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) and has done a residency at the Swiss center CERN, where the largest and most complex scientific instruments in the world are located to study the basic constituents of matter: the fundamental particles.
