Krister Shalm the Canadian physicist who research includes the use of light to study the world of Quantum physics, loves dancing to demonstrate the correlations with his research. On his web site he states “I am working to develop the technologies of tomorrow based on todays breakthroughs in quantum mechanics. In my spare time I can be found dancing up a storm to the tunes of the twenties, thirties and forties… As physicists, we are weaving a compelling narrative about how nature works. I feel it is important that we share this story with others. Communicating my research to the general public forces me to distill ideas to their essence–a process that is difficult, but provides me with a deeper understanding of my own work. At the intersection between art and science there is a great opportunity for unique collaborations. This intersection is something that I am exploring in order to find new ways of communicating science. To help make some of the mind-boggling concepts in quantum mechanics more approachable I have teamed up with a magician, musicians, and dancers.”
