We love that Marvel’s Ant-Man has helped spread the coolness of quantum beyond the lab and into movie theaters. We’re tipping our hats to this tiny wonder with a series of videos that help fans explore the science behind the sci-fi.
“Ant-Man” movies are full of high-tech gadgets that let Scott Lang shrink to explore the quantum realm. Join quantum materials expert Gregory Grant for a look at the marvelous machines and materials in Argonne’s quantum realm.
Gregory Grant is a fourth-year Ph.D. student at the University of Chicago Pritzker School for Molecular Engineering. At the University of Chicago and Argonne, he studies the quantum behavior of atoms and light to develop materials for quantum memory and quantum communication. He is an avid fan of sci-fi and always enjoys a good bout of well-constructed technobabble.

ABOUT ARGONNE
Argonne National Laboratory seeks solutions to pressing national problems in science and technology. The nation’s first national laboratory, Argonne conducts leading-edge basic and applied scientific research in virtually every scientific discipline. Argonne researchers work closely with researchers from hundreds of companies, universities, and federal, state and municipal agencies to help them solve their specific problems, advance America’s scientific leadership and prepare the nation for a better future. With employees from more than 60 nations, Argonne is managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
Argonne is the lead laboratory for Q-NEXT, a U.S. Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science Research Center.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For more information, visit the Office of Science website.
