Foundations of quantum mechanics and their impact on contemporary society

SCIENTIFIC MEETING

Date: 11 – 12 December 2017
Location: The Royal Society, London

Scientific discussion meeting organised by Professor Gerardo Adesso, Dr Rosario Lo Franco and Dr Valentina Parigi.

Revolutionary quantum phenomena like superposition, wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle, entanglement and non-locality are today well-established, albeit continuing debates remain about the profound understanding of their manifestation. Further, these concepts have been enabling a quantum technological revolution.

Join us to explore how advances in the field of quantum mechanics have influenced novel technologies, and could impact our everyday life.
