What is the difference between a regular computer and a quantum computer? In this clip, Katie Mack, Perimeter Institute’s Hawking Chair in Cosmology and Science Communication, compares the two by explaining how each would find a message hidden within a book inside a massive library.

Could gravity help recover information from black holes? Netta Engelhardt explores how gravity might influence entanglement in ways that preserve information, this challenging long-held assumptions about what’s truly lost beyond the event horizon.
What’s next for quantum information & gravity? A Stanford PhD student shares how tabletop experiments could soon test if gravity is truly quantum. Moving from theory to experiment may finally reshape our understanding of one of physics’ biggest questions.

Leonard Susskind recalls a pivotal moment in physics: a meeting with Gerard ’t Hooft and Stephen Hawking. Hawking argued that black holes destroy information, an idea that sounded plausible, yet troubling. Ultimately wrong, but transformative. The brilliance wasn’t in the answer, but the question.
Leonard Susskind says the most exciting frontier in quantum gravity is moving from well-studied “anti–de sitter space” to the less-understood “de sitter space”—a model closer to our actual universe. What questions might this shift answer?
Today, AI is helping researchers simulate quantum systems, analyze massive datasets, and even model the behaviour of quantum computers. In this conversation, physicist Roger Melko explores how AI is changing the way physics is done, and what it means for the future of scientific discovery.
