Using music activities and performances to help promote understanding of Quantum concepts.
Most people know the word ‘quantum’ from popular culture, but have little idea about what it means, apart from vague associations, often that it is ‘weird’, ‘hard to understand’, and of little relevance to our daily lives. Our objective is to help people to understand the basics of what quantum physics is, and how it has been crucial to the development of much of the useful technology, such as electronics, lasers, atomic clocks, MRI scanners etc. that we use today. Also how it is fun, interesting and cutting-edge.
‘Don’t be Scared of the Quantum Cat’
We will develop and deliver interactive workshops to illustrate quantum physical concepts and applications. We will use a range of means including games, performances, visualisations, music and sound, including elements of improvisation and hands-on experimentation.
This project is in development, with activities expected to be available in the Spring of 2026.
