About the film:
As governments, corporations and universities pour funds into quantum science, and breakthroughs in quantum technology gather pace, important questions about the reality of a quantum future remain unanswered. PROJECT Q brings together physicists, philosophers and policymakers, military specialists, social scientists and international relations experts to explore critical questions:
• How will quantum technologies change the world?
• What is the 'quantum race'? Who is winning and who is losing?
• How can the nuclear arms and space races help us understand the quantum race?
• What are the risks and benefits of quantum innovation to global peace and security?
• In an increasingly interconnected world can quantum theory provide new models for global politics?
In a notoriously complex field where ignorance is matched by hype, PROJECT Q seeks to develop a multidisciplinary fluency in all things quantum.
