Description:
What once was fodder for science fiction is now part of everyday life. The benefits of quantum research are all around us today: Cell phones, computers, medical imaging technology, GPS navigation, solar panels, and more. We’ve only barely scratched the surface of understanding quantum physics. What new discoveries are yet to be revealed? Join us for an outside and inside look at NASA’s current and future quantum efforts. Panelists will share how NASA is pioneering quantum discovery in space, developing new exploration technologies, and paving the way for the future.
