ABSTRACT Quantum science and technologies are advancing rapidly, but what about public understanding and engagement? In this talk, Julia Cramer—leader of the Quantum and Society research group at Leiden University—addresses the importance of involving society in the quantum revolution.

She shares insights from empirical studies on how quantum is framed in TEDx talks and news media, explores the metaphors used to describe quantum concepts, and presents findings from a quantum exhibition at a large music festival in the Netherlands.

In a time of growing science skepticism, this talk highlights how communication, framing and dialogue are key to building societal relevance and trust in emerging quantum technologies.
