Have you ever wondered how the world works at the sub-atomic level? In this workshop with experts from the Institute for Quantum Computing, experiment with lasers and use the wave nature of light to make precise measurements. Discover how we can encode information in light, make secret artwork and learn about how these ideas are applied in new kinds of computers and technology based on quantum mechanics!
