From the infinitely small to the infinitely large, covering more than sixty orders of magnitude of spatial dimension, quantum theory is invoked, both to describe the still largely mysterious vibrations of the microscopic strings which could be the elementary constituents of the Universe, that to account for the fluctuations of the microwave radiation which reaches us from the outer reaches of the cosmos. Serge Haroche presents in this lesson the scientific theory that has revolutionized our understanding of nature and extraordinarily enriched our means of action and information on the world.

From the infinitely small to the infinitely big, covering over 60 spatial orders of magnitude, quantum theory is used as much to describe the still largely mysterious vibrations of the microscopic strings that could be the basic constituents of the Universe, as to explain the fluctuations of the microwave radiation reaching us from the depths of outer space. Serge Haroche tells us about the scientific theory that revolutionised our understanding of nature and made an extraordinary contribution to our means of acting on and gaining information about the world.
