Abstract
Over the past century, quantum mechanics has reshaped our understanding of nature—from the structure of atoms and solids to the quantum fields underlying particle physics. This colloquium offers a guided tour of a few key milestones, starting with Schrödinger’s equation (1926) and culminating in today’s perspective where entanglement and information play central roles, including in quantum computation.
