Quantum Shorts is closed to submissions.<\/strong><\/p>

Quantum physics, which describes the behaviour of matter at atomic and subatomic scales, has long provided inspiration for artists, writers, film-makers and philosophers. Quantum objects can be in two states at once, a phenomenon known as superposition that inspired the famous \u201cSchr\u00f6dinger\u2019s Cat\u201d paradox. Among its other features is entanglement, where objects such as atoms hold a strange influence over each other, changing each other\u2019s properties without physical contact or signals passing between them. Practically, these phenomena hold promise for building new kinds of computers and sensors, drawing attention and funding from businesses and governments world-wide. As the world makes progress in quantum science and technology, questions are also being asked about its impact on society and how society should respond. Learn more about quantum physics in our inspiration section.<\/p>

The Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore organised Quantum Shorts with a constellation of prestigious partners, Quantum Shorts has alternated between annual calls for science fiction and science films since 2012, with the last competition ending in 2024.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
