About this episode
This episode explores quantum entanglement at the scale of top quarks with insights from leading physicists.
In this special episode celebrating the United Nations' International Year of Quantum Science and Technology and World Quantum Day, we dive into the mysterious world of quantum entanglement—this time, at the scale of top quarks. Join us as we speak with Giulia Negro (CMS Experiment, Purdue University) and Yoav Afik (ATLAS Experiment, University of Chicago), two physicists behind groundbreaking results from the Large Hadron Collider's biggest experiments. From the birth of quantum mechanics 100 years ago to its latest tests in high-energy proton collisions, we explore how the weirdness of the quantum world continues to unfold—one quark pair at a time.
