Dr. Mathieu Juan: Quantum science, for me, I would say is the study of phenomena which will very often happen in the infinitely small.

We are going to look at very, very small things, so single atoms, single photons, that sort of thing.

Dr. Barry Sanders: The way I think about quantum science is it’s kind of like the Constitution for the laws of the universe.

Dr. Norbert Lütkenhaus: Quantum information is really a new paradigm.

Quantum mechanics itself is something that we have, of course, known for a hundred years.

Quantum science led to transformational discoveries such as the transistor, the laser, brain scans at hospitals, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

What we're trying to do now is to create what we call, “The Second Quantum Revolution”.
