Quantum physics has gone through two major revolutions over the past century, which has transformed how we understand and practise theoretical physics. But what has still been left unanswered through these revolutions?

Theoretical physicist Ross Jenkinson joins us this month to explain the impact of both of these revolutions on quantum science, and specifically how quantum field theory and quantum computing could help to explain one of the biggest obstacles in quantum physics: gravity. Ross also uncovers the realities of working with quantum computers and how these underground labs actually work.
