UChicago STAGE lab to release pilot episode of ‘Curiosity’ with discussion June 25 |
+ The first episode, “Superposition,” follows Earnest-Noble, a physics graduate student at the time of filming, as he attempts to create a device that he hopes will be foundational to quantum computing. Filmed in the lab of Assoc. Prof. David Schuster and around Hyde Park, and combining a mix of interviews with an intimate camera style, the filmmakers capture life at the forefront of quantum computing as experienced by a young researcher growing through the trials of the work he loves.
The pilot episode, “Superposition,” will be available online June 25 at noon and 8 p.m. Each showing will be followed by interactive panel discussions featuring the cast and contributors.
