Inaugural debate of “Quantum” exhibition with the participation of Mónica Bello, curator and director of Arts at CERN; José Ignacio Latorre, scientific adviser to the exhibition; and the artists Juan Cortés, Suzanne Treister and Yunchul Kim.

The exhibition “Quantum”, a coproduction which is Europe-wide in scope, has its beginnings in the Arts programme a CERN which aims to make known to the general public by means of artistic creation the research that is being done with the particle accelerator. The exhibition also presents a scientific route so that the public can explore the elemental reality described by quantum physics—a reality that is present in the world but hidden from human senses—and the technology deriving from it.

This panel discussion with the curators and some of the artists present in the exhibition will reveal how this dialogue came about, and the ways in which artistic expression and scientific knowledge complement each other when constructing discourse about reality on the sub atomic scale.

The Institute of Cosmos Sciences (ICCUB) and the Department of Quantum Physics and Astrophysics of the University of Barcelona participate in this part of the exhibition with different activities and facilities.  Among these, there displays of «Simulations of quantum physics»  carried out in a collaboration project between undergraduates, professors and researchers of the ICCUB, a talk «What do we mean when we speak of quantum physics?» with researchers David Mateos (ICREA-ICCUB) and Maciej Lewenstein (ICREA), a video featuring the young researcher in quantum computing, Alba Cervera, or a guided visit to the exhibition by its scientific advisor, José Ignacio Latorre.  Several laboratory instruments from different departments of the Faculty of Physics of the UB will be also available to bring visitors to the world of quantum physics research .

Resum

“The first great step of quantum mechanics is surprising. It starts off from an unavoidable fact. In the world of the smallest elements, when we try to measure, we alter what we measure.
