More is Different: Complexity in the Quantum World
Hosted by: Anna and Paul Marks
Date: Tuesday, October 16, 2012
The last two decades have seen the discovery of many fascinating new phenomena in the quantum world.
Underlying to all of them is a unique complexity whose exploration is one of the most important scientific challenges in modern times.
Understanding how this complexity emerges at the nanoscale, and how it evolves, is the key to revolutionizing many aspects of our daily lives;
it will help us build energy super highways and quantum computers, and provide new means of transportation.
We will explore this quest for complexity, and its relation to art, music, and St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
