Q100: Nancy Kawalek - Exploring Quantum Art
Q100: Nancy Kawalek - Exploring Quantum Art Meet Nancy Kawalek Professor and Distinguished Fellow in the Arts, Sciences and Technology, University of Chicago | Chicago, Illinois, United States 🇺🇸 With her unique role in quantum, Professor Nancy Kawalek bridges the worlds of science and art — bringing quantum mechanics to life through creativity and storytelling. As Founder and Director of the STAGE Center at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, Kawalek leads a team that makes complex quantum concepts accessible to broad audiences through films, stage performances, interactive games, and exhibits. Her work emphasizes not just understanding, but experiencing and enjoying quantum science in ways that spark curiosity and collaboration. 🎭 Art Meets Science A professional theater-trained actor with over 25 years of experience on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and in regional theatre, Kawalek applies her artistic expertise to science communication — producing projects such as the award-winning docuseries "Curiosity: The Making of a Scientist". STAGE's interactive Quantum Games have encouraged international collaboration, touring to Japan, Switzerland, Paris, and Las Vegas, while also engaging local communities in Chicago to build connections with emerging technology hubs. 🎓 Education & Community Beyond public engagement, Kawalek mentors undergraduate and graduate students, integrating education with scientific exploration. Through STAGE (Scientists, Technologists, and Artists Generating Exploration), she demonstrates how interdisciplinary creativity can deepen understanding of quantum science, inspire innovation, and cultivate a global quantum workforce. ---- 🌍 As part of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, the Quantum 100 is one hundred individuals from around the world representing people at every stage of their professional journey. The Quantum 100 spans academia, industry, education, art, culture, journalism, and policy, reflecting a breadth of skills and specialization. 🔗 See the full list: https://quantum2025.org/quantum-100-hub/

Prof. Nancy Kawalek has been highlighted as one of the ‘Quantum 100’ by the United Nations-declared International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. 🧪

How quantum mechanics emerged in a few revolutionary months 100 years ago It began with concerns about the orbits used to explain the motion of electrons in atoms — but quantum theory ended up upending reality itself.

100 years ago, Heisenberg shattered physics by ditching orbits for #quantum mechanics. In months, reality was rewritten—particles became probabilities, and certainty vanished. A century later, the quantum revolution still shapes our world. #Quantum100 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Quantum mechanics turns 100, and it all started with a 23-year-old Heisenberg on a hay fever retreat! What inspires you most about this extraordinary revolution in physics?
