What is the DeLorean (DMC-12)?
The basic unit (particle) of light in quantum physics.
What is a photon?
This college at the University of Michigan sponsors QuantUM.
What is, "the College of Engineering"?
This UMich song is commonly sung at games and events starting with "Hail".
What is "The Victors"?
The story begins with a pair of siblings, a boy and a girl, who are bored and home alone on a stormy day. A tall humanoid cat sporting a bow tie and a red-and-white-striped stovepipe hat appears and promises to teach the dumbfounded children some tricks and games.
Who is the Cat in the Hat?
Ant-Man and the Wasp find themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that pushes them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible.
What is Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania?
The idea that energy levels in atoms come in fixed steps rather than any value.
What is quantization?
Who is "David McDermott"?
This was the city Umich was founded in.
What is Detroit?
A famous thought experiment that demonstrates the idea in quantum physics that tiny particles can be in two states at once until they're observed.
What is Schrodinger's Cats?
In this thriller, a canister of antimatter is stolen from a Swiss particle-physics lab and becomes a ticking “impossible” bomb. In real life, antimatter can be created in particle accelerators, but it has to be held without touching normal matter using electromagnetic confinement (otherwise it annihilates on contact).
What is "Angels and Demonds"?
The principle that you can’t precisely know both a particle’s position and momentum at the same time.
What is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?
This was the catering we had at last semesters hackathon.
What is "Qdoba"?

This is the kind of cat Albert Einstein had. (think patterns)
What is a "Tabby Cat"?
In this movie, Adam Reed (Ryan Reynold), is a time traveler from the year 2050 returns to 2022 and meets his 12-year-old self. Adam’s dad, Louis (Mark Ruffalo), is a quantum physicist and a professor who created a large magnetic particle accelerator.
What is The Adam Project
A phenomenon where two particles share linked outcomes so strongly that measuring one helps predict the other’s result, even when separated.
What is entanglement?
This other student organization recently partnered with QuantUM on a speaker event on building a Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing Ecosystem.
What is "SC2"?
This was the first school/college to move to North Campus.
What is "music".
In this urban legend, Issac Newton invented this mechanism to help cats get into his house.
What is a "Cat flap"?
In Interstellar, the huge time differences near the black hole come mainly from this effect predicted by Einstein.
What is gravitational time dilation (general relativity)?
A partial differential equation that governs the wave function of a quantum-mechanical system.
What is the Schrodinger Equation?
What is a "quantum walk"?
This was the year the Quantum Research Institute was established at Umich.
What is 2022.
