Grainger College of Engineering, All Events

Join us for an enchanting evening that entangles the wonders of quantum science and artistic expression. We open with National Poet-Engineer Richard Blanco reading his light-filled poetry. In Quantum Voices, hear quantum scientists share their personal adventures into exciting current frontier research. Set to lyrical music, this exploration imaginatively meanders through some of the most tantalizing concepts of quantum physics. In Quantum Rhapsodies, steep yourself in quantum mysteries from subatomic to galactic scales. Shared through poetic narrative, melodic quartet movements, and lush visuals, this performance weaves through reflections on light, stellar furnaces birthing elements, quantum matter here on our precious Earth, and enigmas of the human mind. Our evening offering, Quantum Illuminations, is a communal celebration of the quantum realm in all its splendor, of what makes us who we are, and of our place in the universe.
