Quantum time travel

School Module Q1

Immerse yourself and your class in the world of quantum physics! What lies behind phenomena such as superposition, uncertainty principle and entanglement? Students will learn how these concepts form the basis for secure communication and travel back in time to the groundbreaking discoveries of quantum research. Finally, we will take a look at the future of quantum communication – what can we expect in tomorrow’s world?
