Biology: The Next Quantum Frontier | Dr. Catalina Curceanu

LATEST VIDEO | March 29, 2026
This talk from Dr. Catalina Curceanu looks at the emerging field of quantum biology. She explores how the principles of quantum mechanics could help explain some puzzling aspects of life, like the efficiency of photosynthesis and the workings of the brain. FQxI is sharing this talk to spotlight research that pushes the boundaries between physics and biology. Our goal is to connect ideas that challenge the way we understand the natural world.

Complexity in the Cosmos with Julian Barbour

LATEST VIDEO | March 29, 2026
Julian Barbour has developed some of the most radical and compelling ideas in modern physics, challenging our assumptions about time, motion, and the structure of the universe. In this session, Julian makes the Newtonian case for why the universe may be fundamentally complex, and what that means for how we think about the cosmos.

Causal Sets : The quantum theory that predicted dark energy

LATEST VIDEO | March 29, 2026
What if the key to understanding dark energy was predicted decades ago? This video explores Causal Set Theory, a bold approach to quantum gravity that reimagines spacetime as fundamentally discrete—and may offer surprising insights into the accelerating universe, fine tuning the Big Bang, black holes and more Featuring leading theorists such as Rafael Sorkin, Yasaman Yazdi, Fay Dowker, Sumati Surya, and Niayesh Afshordi, we dive into the origins, predictions, and implications of this fascinating theory.
