Making Memories: Neurons, Quantum Computing, and Art

In this fascinating talk, we explore the unexpected connections between neuroscience, quantum computing, and visual art through a unique interdisciplinary collaboration at Yale University.This talk features a panel discussion following the screening of a documentary about Italian visual artist Serena Campini, who served as an artist-in-residence at the Yale Quantum Institute. Through her residency, Campini created stunning multilayered artworks inspired by both neurological imaging and quantum states of light.Our guests include:Serena Campini, visual artist and art historian who has spent over a decade collaborating with neuroscientists and quantum researchersMichael Higley, neuroscientist at Yale Medical School whose lab studies synapses and memory formationHarshvardhan “Harsh” Babla, a PhD student researching quantum error correction and extending quantum memoryDonna Fetis, gerontologist and educator specializing in aging, caregiving, and dementiaFlorian Carle, representing the Yale Quantum InstituteThanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe on YouTube!
