  Quantum Tech is in Your Public Library

  10:15 am   11:30am

  141 Loomis Laboratory of Physics

  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.
