Synopsis:
The film "Sparks of Quantum Physics: Perspectives Shaping the Future" challenges stereotypes about quantum physics by showcasing the creativity, intuition, and versatility of female physicists at the University of Vienna. Highlighting how these researchers apply their unique problem-solving skills both within and beyond the lab—from visual arts and music to activities like rock climbing and running—the film reveals a side of quantum physics far removed from the intimidating, math-dominated image often associated with the field.
Featuring physicists Salambô Dago, Anne-Catherine de la Hamette, Hanieh Jafarian, Carla Richter, and Ksenija Simonovic, the film offers an inspiring look into the lives of young scientists whose fresh perspectives and collaborative spirit are shaping the future.
