Arrow of Time: Quantum Leap (1999x3)

Air date: Dec 28, 1999

Why is the quantum world so weird and what are some of the applications of what we now know about it? Dr Neil Johnson explores the mystery within the atom, where events occur faster than anywhere else in the universe, to offer a glimpse into the strange quantum world that lies around us. Harnessing these effects has led to the modern-day world characterised by high-speed communications.
