Can the mysterious world of quantum physics explain bird navigation, photosynthesis, and even our delicate sense of smell? Growing evidence suggests that the rules that govern the subatomic world may play a crucial and unexpected role in the visible world. Join leading thinkers in the emerging field of quantum biology as they explore quantum physics’ hidden hand in everyday life and discuss how these discoveries could one day revolutionize thinking about everything from the energy crisis to quantum computers.

The World Science Festival brings together the greatest minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that engages a broad audience with scientific discovery. Our mission is to cultivate a broad audience informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and ready to engage with its implications for the future.
