How Quantum Physics Can Help Us Fight Climate Change | Shohini Ghose | TEDxVictoria

From yotta watts to advanced solar cells, Shohini Ghose explains the relationship between our world and our sun - and how quantum physics can help human beings to fight climate change.

Shohini Ghose is an Associate Professor of Physics and Computer Science, Director of the Centre for Women in Science at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada, and TED Fellow. She is a theoretical physicist who examines how the laws of quantum physics might be harnessed to transform computation and communication, and to develop novel protocols such as teleportation. She was recently awarded a prestigious Sera Bangali Prize for her contributions to science.
