    In this talk, we’ll explore what entanglement is, how to create, shape, and detect it, and how we're learning to harness it for revolutionary technologies. We’ll also learn why it deeply troubled some of the greatest minds in science.

    When lead nuclei collide at near light speed in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, they create the hottest matter in the universe, the Quark-Gluon Plasma, a state that existed moments after the Big Bang. University of Illinois researchers developed radiation-hard detectors to study how this plasma forms and evolves, advancing the quest to recreate matter from the dawn of time.

    This presentation will introduce participants to a groundbreaking project called CraftCells: A Window into Biological Cells. This is the first tool that lets anyone—from researchers to curious students—step inside an accurate 3D model of a cell and see how life is organized at the tiniest scale.

    Did you know the internet is distributed using light? A quantum network uses the smallest possible blips of light, called photons, to share information in a fundamentally different way, based on the concepts of quantum mechanics. This presentation will share the work that led to the launch of the first Public Quantum Network (PQN) at The Urbana Free Library.
