Exhibition "Science and quantum technologies: new paradigms of information to explore nature" at the Science and Technology Library

The Science and Technology Library (BCT) and the Quantum Information Group (GIQ) of the Department of Physics of the UAB have prepared a synthetic journey through the history of quantum science and technologies, from the first discoveries of quantum mechanics in the 20th century to current developments, with a projection towards the future. 

Today we live immersed in the second quantum revolution, where properties such as entanglement, superposition and non-locality cease to be theoretical curiosities to become resources that we can control and apply. This opens the way to quantum computers, quantum communication networks, ultra-precise sensors and advanced simulators. In this new paradigm, reality is best described in terms of information, probabilities and correlations, and not just matter or energy, opening up new opportunities to understand the foundations of physics and profoundly transform society throughout the 21st century. 

The exhibition that we present to you can be visited at the BCT until October 21 and has an informative bibliographic selection available in the lobby of the Library. 

In addition, we invite you to attend the conference Historical alphabet of quantum taught by Xavier Roqué, from the Institute of History of Science and professor of the Department of Philosophy of the UAB, which will take place on Thursday, October 16, at 1 p.m., in the BCT Space of the Science and Technology Library. 

We are waiting for you!
