Explore cutting-edge quantum physics research in this 3-hour symposium from the APS Global Physics Summit 2025, featuring the Kavli Foundation Plenary Session "It's a Quantum World." The session begins with welcome remarks before diving into five fascinating presentations: James Werner demonstrates near-infrared quantum ghost imaging techniques for studying living plants non-invasively; Evgeniya Kirilina presents groundbreaking in situ magnetometry methods for detecting iron in the human brain; Ekkehard Peik discusses nuclear laser spectroscopy and the development of optical nuclear clocks; Jie Shan explains electron fractionalization phenomena in 2D moiré superlattices under zero magnetic field; and Nicole Yunger Halpern explores quantum thermodynamics applications in lattice gauge theories. Each presentation offers deep insights into how quantum principles are revolutionizing different scientific fields.
