Prof. Matos Abiague introduced the students to phenomena such as quantum tunneling, quantum superposition, and quantum entanglement. The advantages, limitations, and challenges related to the fundamental and technological applications of quantum phenomena were also addressed. Last but not least, the visitor and students established a conversation about carrier opportunities and the future of quantum science.
