Quantum Concert
Live string quartet, immersive visuals and MIT physicist David Kaiser's talk turn quantum physics into a human, musical experience.
Experience Quantum Concert!
November 6th, 7pm at the Thomas Tull Auditorium M.I.T.
Through live musical performances, immersive visuals, and illuminating talks, this one-of-a-kind experience transforms the complexity of quantum physics into something deeply human. Hear the echoes of wave-particle duality, sense the tension of the uncertainty principle, and witness the threads of entanglement that connect particles — and perhaps all of us — across time and space.
Join David I. Kaiser, Professor of Physics, author, and Germeshausen Professor of the History of Science at M.I.T. as he shares his work on The Cosmic Bell Test and the origin of structure in our universe. Audiences are invited to join in the excitement of this groundbreaking experiment, which harnesses light from ancient quasars to test quantum theory. New music for string quartet will be performed live, sounding quantum behaviors and dramatizing the Cosmic Bell Experiment.
Each piece explores a different aspect of quantum physics, from Heisenberg's thoughts on the strange beauty of quantum mathematics, all the way to the Big Bang and the large-scale structure of our universe.
All original music performed by the Multiverse Quartet
