How the quantum world makes the impossible possible

Quantum theory, our attempt to describe the behaviour of the very smallest scales in the universe, is littered with counter-intuitive predictions.

Many, like the idea of an object being in two places at once, are impossible scenarios in our classical understanding of the world, but are nevertheless present and predictable at quantum scales.

Join Dr Paul Skrzypczyk to explore the limits of this contradictory world and discover how we might put its impossibilities to use.
