Ep. 9: Philosophy? Technology? Quantum Physics with Philip Taranto
Show Notes

Quantum Physics - sounds like it's straight out of a sci-fi movie, right? And, honestly... maybe it is! Or maybe it isn't... or maybe it's both! Philip Taranto (@tarantophilip) explains to me what this weird word "Quantum" actually means, how quantum physics and philosophical questions overlap, and how exciting new technologies are being developed based on this physical theory.

Phil is a PhD student in the group of Marcus Huber at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) in Vienna.
