Rendezvous today for a show at the limits of our understanding and especially our intuition: behind the scenes of the new quantum revolution underway in laboratories. How far will the incredible and always mysterious quantum properties of matter take us? In the infinitely small, where the principles of classical physics no longer work and especially the unimaginable: that particles can be at the same time in two different places, that a photon can be both in wave form and particle, that a Cat, that of Schrödinger, can be both dead and alive, that reality can depend on the one who observes it ...
How all these paradoxes, all these intriguing intricacies / superimpositions of the quantum world not only open up another totally counter-intuitive reality to us, but also towards technological applications that are likely to upset our digital lives beyond anything we can imagine ...
