Quantum physics, he explains, is a paradoxical and fascinating language \u2014 one you don\u2019t just learn, but eventually begin to think in. It\u2019s this mindset that fuels the next big shift in technology: quantum computers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zoller shares his vision of a future where quantum computing transforms both science and society \u2014 becoming a tool for discovery, a driver of new economies, and a bridge between basic research and real-world applications. In this future, quantum and classical computers will work together, not in competition. But his journey into science started as a kid in a library, leafing through books on how to build radios. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"ep-4-tess-smidt-on-ai-physics-perspectives\"\n    >\nEp. 4 &#8211; Tess Smidt on AI, Physics &amp; Perspectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Tess Smidt, Assistant Professor at MIT, is fascinated by how we represent the physical world to computers \u2014 so that computers can help us better understand it. Her work focuses on using machine learning to design materials that could lead to low-power electronics, better energy storage, and new drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a teenager, Tess dreamed of becoming a particle physicist, reading everything about the Large Hadron Collider. Later, in graduate school, she shifted focus to atoms and materials, where she discovered the limitations of existing models \u2014 and the potential of machine learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tess believes research is full of highs and lows, and that stepping away from a problem can bring clarity. She values having a life outside the lab and encourages young researchers to stay curious, embrace their own perspective, and be open to others \u2014 because solving hard problems requires many different minds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"thumbnail  wp-block-unilux-blocks-thumbnail-video\">\n    <div class=\"card bg-theme p-0\">\n        <div class=\"card__container p-0\">\n            <div class=\"card__body p-0\">\n                <iframe \n            src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WcA5z50Zygs\" \n            title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" \n            allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" \n            style=\"object-position: 50% 50%; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n            allowfullscreen data-cookieconsent=\"ignore\">\n            <\/iframe>                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"ep-5-carlos-bustamante-on-the-physics-of-life\"\n    >\nEp. 5 &#8211; Carlos Bustamante on the Physics of Life\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"thumbnail  wp-block-unilux-blocks-thumbnail-video\">\n    <div class=\"card bg-theme p-0\">\n        <div class=\"card__container p-0\">\n            <div class=\"card__body p-0\">\n                <iframe \n            src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ka___8wJNG0\" \n            title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" \n            allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" \n            style=\"object-position: 50% 50%; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n            allowfullscreen data-cookieconsent=\"ignore\">\n            <\/iframe>                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In this episode, we speak with Prof. Carlos Bustamante, biophysicist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the University of California, Berkeley, who has pioneered a new way of studying life\u2014one molecule at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, biology has studied large samples, producing results based on averages. But averages can be misleading. By observing and manipulating single molecules, Bustamante and his team are uncovering the inner workings of molecular machines\u2014and giving us a clearer, more precise view of life at its most fundamental level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also shares his personal journey.

Jan studies soft matter \u2014 materials between solids and liquids \u2014 like liquid crystals and rubber. These are the backbone of his team\u2019s innovations, from vibrant solar panels to better tools for fighting counterfeits and diagnosing disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Physics runs in Jan\u2019s family, but he also inherited a love for art and creativity. That mix fuels his collaborations with researchers and artists alike. For Jan, research is a mix of persistence, surprise, and usefulness \u2014 especially when things don\u2019t go to plan. That\u2019s when science gets interesting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"thumbnail  wp-block-unilux-blocks-thumbnail-video\">\n    <div class=\"card bg-theme p-0\">\n        <div class=\"card__container p-0\">\n            <div class=\"card__body p-0\">\n                <iframe \n            src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ibeB82Ao8y0\" \n            title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" \n            allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" \n            style=\"object-position: 50% 50%; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n            allowfullscreen data-cookieconsent=\"ignore\">\n            <\/iframe>                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":121,"featured_media":0,"parent":30523,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"Physics for Future","uluxPrePostTitle":"14-15 May 2025","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"authorship":[121,101,201,346],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
