SUMMARY:De la physique quantique à l'ordinateur quantique
DESCRIPTION:Conférence grand public par Étienne Klein (CEA\, France). Au cours des années 1920\, la physique quantique s’est rapidement mise sur pied. Il fallait rendre compte du comportement qui se révélait très bizarre des atomes et des particules qui les constituent. Des concepts radicalement neufs furent inventés\, qui conduisirent les physiciens à penser autrement la matière et ses interactions. Mais pour devenir opératoire\, c’est-à-dire correctement utilisable\, l’édifice théorique qui fut ainsi construit exigeait aussi un travail d’interprétation\, que les physiciens eurent les pires difficultés à mener à bien. Il faut dire que la physique quantique posait des questions à la fois inédites et vertigineuses : comment comprendre son formalisme? Comment celui-ci se relie-t-il aux expériences? Selon quelles règles l’utiliser? Quel statut conférer au hasard qui semble intervenir dans la détermination des résultats? Quels types de discours sur la réalité cette nouvelle physique autorise-t-elle? \nLes débats autour de ces questions furent intenses\, notamment entre Niels Bohr et Albert Einstein. Mais au tournant des années 1980\, des expériences décisives permirent de les trancher pour partie. Notamment celles qui démontrèrent le phénomène de « non-séparabilité quantique »\, qui ouvre la voie à toutes sortes d’applications ainsi qu’à l’espoir de disposer un jour d’ordinateurs dits « quantiques ».

SUMMARY:Quantum Learning Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Are you curious to explore wacky and wonderful models that describe how the universe behaves at an atomic scale? Do you enjoy connecting and sharing your curiosity with others? \nJoin us! 2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology\, so come explore some of why and how it can be so exciting. No prior background or familiarity with quantum physics needed\, just curiosity! \nIn this two-month co-created learning adventure\, facilitated by three physicists who also love arts\, sharing\, and co-creating\, you’ll embark on a journey to connect your interests and curiosity with explorations of how the smallest parts of the world work. There are no grades and no credits\, just joyful explorations and meaningful sharing of what is learned together. \nWe will have an informal meet & greet on Sep. 11 at 7pm ET for you to learn more and to help us get to know you and your interests better. Come chat with us and let us know what schedule\, timing\, structures and/or changes would work well for you!

SUMMARY:La rébellion du minuscule - Physique quantique et théâtre d'objets - A play about quantum physics
DESCRIPTION:This show for the general public\, at the crossroads of museum and laboratory\, takes the audience on a journey into the infinitely small\, with humor and visual poetry. La rébellion du minuscule is a journey into the atoms that make up everything around us. An object theater show where works of art are constructed live. Where the low-tech magic of the images amplifies the vertigo between knowledge and the unknown\, certainty and emptiness\, light and matter. \nThis play is presented in French.

SUMMARY:Celebrating 100 Years of Quantum Science at the University of Ottawa
DESCRIPTION:Quantum mechanics is a cornerstone of modern physics\, despite having been developed merely a century ago. Known for its remarkable precision\, quantum theory explains nearly every observed physical phenomenon while challenging our understanding of reality\, locality\, and the nature of the universe. \nOver the past fifty years\, the unique properties of quantum systems—such as superposition\, entanglement\, and contextuality—have sparked a second quantum revolution (Quantum 2.0). This revolution has transformed information theory and fueled ambitious global initiatives to develop quantum technologies\, unlocking new capabilities in sensing\, communication\, and computation. \nTo mark this historic milestone\, NexQT proudly presents a school and workshop focused on advancing quantum education and research. This event will include: \nOver 40 Distinguished Speakers\nLeading experts from Israel\, Germany\, the UK\, the USA\, and Canada will share their latest insights.\nWorkshops and Lectures.\nLearn about recent innovations and applications in quantum science through presentations\, discussions\, and opportunities for the next generation of researchers to highlight their work.\nNetworking Opportunities\nConnect with a global community of quantum researchers\, industry professionals\, and fellow enthusiasts.\nTopics \nArtificial Intelligence–Inspired Quantum Science\nAttosecond Science and Nonlinear Dynamics\nFoundations of Quantum Mechanics\nQuantum Computing\nQuantum Communications\nQuantum Sensing\nQuantum Photonics\nMatter Waves \n\nCelebrating 100 Years of Quantum Science
