Title: Quantum Shorts: Collected Flash Fiction Inspired by Quantum Physics
Date/Time: 13-Feb, 07:00PM
Venue: library@harbourfront, 1 Harbourfront Walk #03-05 Singapore 098585
Abstract: Here is an opportunity to get entangled in the quantum world! At the launch of Quantum Shorts: Collected Flash Fiction Inspired by Quantum Physics, we will delve into whimsical and thought-provoking stories inspired by quantum physics. The 37 stories range from bold futuristic imaginings to contemplations about the everyday. There are stories of lovers beginning their lives together, families facing crises, superheroes fighting their nemeses, and – of course – cats.
You will also get a chance to learn more about the science behind the stories. Quantum physics is the counter-intuitive science of the particles of light and matter. Harnessing quantum properties will allow us to build novel devices for computing, communication and sensing. Researchers and companies in Singapore are working on these new quantum technologies. The Quantum Shorts stories are from competitions organised by the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore and partners.
Join us for selected readings from Quantum Shorts and conversation with contributing authors and local quantum expert, with time for Q&A.
