NOVA: DECODING THE UNIVERSE: Quantum

When we look at the world at the tiniest scales, things get very weird. Take a wild ride through the quantum world, from the discoveries that reveal its strange rules to the amazing technologies it unlocks – with more powerful possibilities to come.

Premieres Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024 at 9 p.m. on KPBS TV / PBS app + Encores Sunday, Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. on KPBS TV and 9 p.m. on KPBS 2

When we look at the world at the tiniest scales, the subatomic realm, things get weird - very weird. Welcome to the quantum universe, where particles can spin in two directions at once, observing something changes it, and a thing on one side of the galaxy can instantly affect something on the other, as if the space between them didn't exist. Buckle up for a wild ride through the discoveries that proved all of this to be true and paved the way for the digital technologies we enjoy today - and the powerful quantum sensors and computers of tomorrow.
