quantA podcast PARADOX

Strong voices. Fundamental questions. Quantum insights.

What happens when particles can be in two places at once, and information teleports across space? In our new podcast series PARADOX, we dive deep into the strange and fascinating world of quantum physics — and why it matters for our lives today and tomorrow.

PARADOX is the official podcast of quantA, featuring conversations with quantum researchers across all career stages — from PhD students to professors. In each episode, Moritz Brehm will guide the discussion with other scientists to make complex topics understandable and engaging for a broad audience.

Target audience: Everyone curious about the quantum world and quantum technologies. 

The majority of the episodes will be in German. The episodes will be published on the YouTube channel, Soundcloud and Spotify.
