Thursday 19 October 2023 from 6pm to 7:30pm

The ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems and the Chau Chak Wing Museum invites you to a screening of the 9 finalists in the Quantum Shorts film competition and a Q&A with a panel of experts!

Quantum Shorts in an international competition that showcases quantum-inspired short films. This year's finalists include comedic, artful and poignant takes on quantum physics.

The films are rated for general audiences, but some touch on themes such as loss and existentialism, which may be distressing for some viewers.

“I enjoyed seeing music and dance used to personify characters that we physicists usually drily describe as ‘systems’ or ‘particles’. I was generally impressed by the technical skill of the entrants.” – Tim Hirsch, EQUS researcher
