QUANTUM
How quantum tech is boosting quantum fundamentals
Advances in quantum physics have spawned some incredible technological developments that have created a whole new ecosystem of “quantum 2.0” businesses exploiting weird quantum effects such as entanglement and superposition. To mark the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, this episode of Physics World Live will explore how those technological advances are now working in reverse: allowing physicists to carry out previously impossible experiments that could reveal new breakthroughs in the fundamentals of quantum theory.
