Virtual Colloquium: Florian Carle – The Entangled Marriage of Art and Quantum Physics

In this Virtual Colloquium session we are joined by Dr. Florian Carle for a presentation titled “The Entangled Marriage of Art and Quantum Physics”. How do you use art as a hook to make quantum physics accessible to all? Or is it the opposite? How do you use quantum physics to elevate art into something even more exciting? Learn more about the entanglement of Art and Quantum Physics and the other interdisciplinary initiatives that stemmed from the Yale Quantum Institute Artist-in-Residence program for some inspiration to create your own quantum inspired artwork. The first half of the colloquium would be focused on teaching students and attendees some key concepts of quantum physics, presenting previous work and discussing science outreach activities, before breaking in small groups to develop the first draft of your own quantum artwork, guided by Dr. Florian Carle who produces quantum artworks since 2017. 

Florian is the manager of the Yale Quantum Institute. French rocket scientist with a theater background turned quantum science manager, he develops science outreach programing for the Yale and New Haven community to demystify quantum physics and science in general, and to make it fun, in the hope to encourage new generations of students to consider a career in STEM. Florian is the creator and producer of the YQI Artist in Residence program and draws from his theater background to help create installations and exhibitions, live shows, albums, and music videos. Florian holds an engineering diploma and a PhD in Energetics and Mechanics from Aix Marseille University, France.

The Virtual Colloquium this semester is organized in cooperation with Goethe-Institut’s Studio Quantum. The Zoom link to join the Virtual Colloquium will be the same for all sessions: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82954605489?pwd=VP3XBDzVogeuQtLWaXbWEFpm9ObxiQ.1
