Bard Physicist Paul Cadden-Zimansky Asks “What is Quantum?” at QuantumFest 2025
Professor Paul Cadden-Zimansky visits the the Global Physics Summit with the American Physical Society.
Professor of Physics Paul Cadden-Zimansky hosted a video tour of the Global Physics Summit, a “public celebration of all things quantum,” in partnership with the American Physical Society. The video tour was part of Cadden-Zimanski’s responsibility as Global Coordinator for the UN’s International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, a position he was appointed to in January. Participants at the Summit showed experiments related to Quantum science like static electricity and UV light. “The idea of this year is to have everybody who knows something about Quantum help people who don’t learn a little more about it,” Cadden-Zimansky said.
At the Summit, Cadden-Zimansky spoke with scientists from around the world about the importance of Quantum mechanics at 100. He also spoke with Nobel Laureate Barry Barish, an expert on gravitational waves, about why scientists should engage in public outreach about scientific topics. “As individuals, you or I can only do so much,” Barish said. “But one thing that actually multiplies what we do… is to get young kids interested in science. I think it makes it worthwhile.”
