Resources
The development of quantum theory in the early 20th Century brought about a revolution in our understanding of the universe. The theory defies intuition: it says that particles can be in more than one place at once, that the actions of separate particles can be strangely coordinated, and that measurements have inbuilt uncertainty, no matter how accurate our tools.
CQT scientists explore this bizarre quantum world and attempt to turn its quirks to our advantage. By harnessing the quantum behaviour of photons and atoms, the particles of light and matter, we are building a new generation of technologies for communication, computation and sensing.
Delve into quantum physics with these books by CQT's scientists and collaborators. You can find more reading and an A to Z quide to the quantum world on our Quantum Shorts contest site. We also recommend the QuTalent online learning platform. CQT supports QuTalent through Singapore's National Quantum Computing Hub.
Events
You can sign up to our mailing list to be informed about public events arranged by CQT. Here are some examples of the things we do:
- We offer occasional talks for public audiences, usually in partnership with other venues.
- We run the international Quantum Shorts competitions. You can enjoy some of the best quantum-inspired flash fiction submitted to Quantum Shorts in a free e-book.
