Cell phones, light-emitting diodes, medical diagnostics: quantum physics forms the basis of many of our technological companions today. This groundbreaking branch of science, which broke the boundaries of imagination, was developed 100 years ago by three German and one Danish physicist: Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr. All four were honored with the Nobel Prize.<\/p>\n

Thomas de Padova dedicates his book Quantum Light. The Decade of Physics 1919 – 1929<\/em> (2024) to the feverish search for answers. The author tells a captivating story about the joy of thinking, the glories and abysses of the 1920s and the dance on the atom. At the DAI, he presents his new book and enters into conversation with the American artist Ken Krimstein<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n

Thomas de Padova<\/strong> studied physics and astronomy, worked as a science editor at the Tagesspiegel and as a journalist in residence at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. Most recently published by Hanser Allein gegen die Schwerkraft. Einstein 1914-1918<\/em> (2015), Nonna<\/em> (2018) and Alles wird Zahl. How Mathematics Reinvented Itself in the Renaissance<\/em> (2021).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
