Pieces of Us – Season 4 Episode 2 – Whispers of Wisdom Pieces of Us is an intimate space and a creative experience dedicated to artists looking to share their gifts and talents on a public platform. It is an environment where you can be your authentic self, think without boundaries, and connect & collaborate with others. The most profound guidance often comes from the quietest voices. In this reflective episode, we explore the whispers of wisdom that shape our journeys—be it intuition, family support, or community counsel. Our performers will share their experiences, through their art, of moments where they’ve heard whispers of wisdom – whispers from within, and from their community. Guided by their inner voice, they’ll share the wisdom and the transformative impact of listening deeply, and the lessons learned along the way. This episode celebrates introspection and community bonds. It’s about connecting with your inner self and trusting the journey, even when the path is unclear, and opening your mind and heart to the perspectives and guidance from your community. Join us as we honour the whispers that lead us to our truest selves. This is an invitation to listen, reflect, and be guided by the wisdom that surrounds us. Disclaimer: This episode may contain explicit language and mature content. Parental discretion is advised. *** We believe that every work of art contains a piece of the artist who created it. We believe that true art requires vulnerability and self expression. We believe that art should be shared in a way that is emotionally engaging and respectful of the artist’s original intention. We believe that artistry can be a spiritually enriching experience. We believe that art is transformative and inspires growth. This is Pieces of Us. *** Date: Sunday, May 18, 2025. Doors Open: 6PM. Show time: 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM. Location: Club SAW, 67 Nicholas Street Ottawa, ON, K1N 7B9 We look forward to hosting you!

NexQT organise un événement spécial pour souligner un siècle de découvertes révolutionnaires en mécanique quantique, ainsi que l’Année internationale des sciences et technologies quantiques (AIQ 2025). Célébrons ensemble 100 ans de science quantique! Cet événement réunira de grands noms de la science, de la recherche et de la communauté étudiante du monde entier pour réfléchir au passé et stimuler les futures avancées dans le domaine de la science quantique. Jeune d’un siècle à peine, la mécanique quantique est devenue une pierre angulaire de la physique moderne. Connue pour sa précision remarquable, la théorie quantique explique presque tous les phénomènes physiques observés tout en remettant en question notre compréhension de la réalité, du principe de localité et de la nature de l’univers. Au cours des cinquante dernières années, la découverte des propriétés uniques des systèmes quantiques, telles que la superposition, l’intrication et la contextualité, a provoqué une seconde révolution, le « quantique 2.0 ». Cette révolution a transformé la théorie de l’information et alimenté d’ambitieuses initiatives mondiales visant à faire progresser les technologies quantiques, révélant ainsi de nouvelles techniques de calcul, de détection et de communication. Pour marquer cette étape historique, NexQT a l’honneur d’organiser une conférence et des ateliers axés sur l’avancement de la formation et de la recherche en science quantique. L’offre est alléchante! Plus de 40 conférencières et conférenciers distingués : Des sommités du domaine en provenance d’Israël, d’Allemagne, du Royaume-Uni, des États-Unis et du Canada feront part de leurs dernières découvertes. Ateliers et conférences : Vous en apprendrez plus sur les innovations et les applications récentes en science quantique grâce à des présentations, des discussions et des occasions pour la prochaine génération du monde de la recherche de mettre en avant son travail. Réseautage : Venez rencontrer des chercheuses et chercheurs du monde entier en science quantique, des spécialistes de l’industrie et d’autres personnes passionnées. Différents sujets seront abordés : La science quantique inspirée par l’IA La science de l’attoseconde et la dynamique non linéaire Les fondements de la mécanique quantique L’informatique quantique La communication quantique La détection quantique La photonique quantique Les ondes de matière Au programme : Conférencières et conférenciers invités : Des physiciennes et physiciens de renom présenteront leur contribution novatrice à la science quantique (voir la liste ci-après). Tables rondes : Des spécialistes aborderont la question des répercussions sociétales et technologiques des innovations quantiques. Courtes présentations d’étudiantes et d’étudiants ainsi que de chercheuses et de chercheurs en début de carrière. Information sur les applications de pointe de la mécanique quantique dans les domaines de la technologie et de la recherche. Séance de présentation d’affiches interactive où étudiants et étudiantes pourront expliquer leurs recherches et échanger sur leurs résultats. Voici quelques noms parmi les personnes ayant confirmé leur présence : Prof. Ady Arie (Université de Tel Aviv) Prof. Yakir Aharonov (Université Chapman) Prof. Sir Michael Berry (Université de Bristol) Prof. Ravi Bhardwaj (Université d'Ottawa) Prof. Robert Boyd (Université d'Ottawa) Prof. Yaron Bromberg (Université hébraïque) Prof. Maria Chekhova (Institut Max-Planck pour la science de la lumière) Prof. Eli Cohen (Université Bar-Ilan) Prof. Paul Corkum (Université d'Ottawa) Prof. Stefanie Czischek (Université d'Ottawa) Prof. Hagai Eisenberg (Université hébraïque de Jérusalem) Prof. Hanieh Fattahi (Institut Max-Planck pour la science de la lumière) Prof. Marco Genovese (Institut national de recherche métrologique) Prof. Khabat Heshami (Conseil national de recherches Canada) Prof. Ido Kaminer (Technion – Institut de technologie d'Israël) Prof. Ofer Kfir (Université de Tel Aviv) Prof. Gerd Leuchs (Institut Max-Planck pour la science de la lumière) Prof. Lora Ramunno (Université d'Ottawa) Prof. Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop (Université du Queensland) Prof. Miles Padgett (Université de Glasgow) Prof. Avi Pe’er (Université Bar-Ilan) Prof. Friedemann Reinhard (Université de Rostock) Prof. Yoav Sagi (Technion – Institut de technologie d'Israël) Prof. Stefan Scheel (Université de Rostock) Prof. Sharon Shwartz (Université Bar-Ilan) Prof. André Staudte (Conseil national de recherches Canada) Prof. Haim Suchowski (Université de Tel Aviv) Prof. Ben Sussman (Conseil national de recherches Canada) Prof. Lev Vaidman (Université de Tel Aviv) (Remarque : Bien que nous ayons invité plusieurs scientifiques de premier plan appartenant à des groupes sous-représentés, personne n’était disponible pendant cette période).
