Coming soon: Quantum Untangled
October 2025
How do we understand reality? How do the smallest particles in the universe lead to the biggest ripples across vast scales of space and time? How can Quantum change the world we live in and what will that mean for each of us?
Through interactive artworks, immersive sculptural installations and the words of physicists, philosophers and poets, Science Gallery London’s new exhibition Quantum Untangled fuses art, science and extraordinary interdisciplinary research together to consider big quantum questions and reveal the power quantum possesses to transform our futures.
“Quantum not only explains the world, but through quantum we can change the world…”
Dr James Millen, Director of King’s Quantum
Visitors will encounter awe-inspiring works including two large immersive installations from Conrad Shawcross RA, sculptural installations by Alistair McClymont, Monica C. LoCascio & Daniela Brill Estrada and Matthew Woodham, Robin Baumgarten’s playful installation Quantum Jungle, poetry from Studio Quantum’s artist in residence Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan, photography by David Severn and films developed with the King’s Quantum community.
The exhibition will be part of a free season including Friday Lates and a panel discussion in collaboration with King’s College London’s Digital Futures Institute.
Quantum Untangled is an adaptation of Cosmic Titans: Art, Science and the Quantum Universe, a touring exhibition from Lakeside Arts and ARTlab, University of Nottingham.
About King’s Quantum
Quantum Untangled at Science Gallery London marks the International Year of Quantum Science & Technology (IYQ), a year-long global initiative celebrating 100 years of quantum mechanics.
King’s College London has played a pivotal role in the history of quantum research. Professor Charles Coulson (Chair of Theoretical Physics at King's College London from 1947 to 1952) was one of the pioneers in the application of quantum mechanics to understand how atoms bond together to form molecules.
Fast forward to the 21st Century, King’s has its own dedicated quantum research centre, bringing together scientists from across different sciences to shape the future of technology for the next 100 years and beyond.
King’s Quantum is driving this complex area of science – guided by the UK government’s National Quantum Strategy. The centre’s research spans many areas of science, from black holes to quantum computers and quantum-powered healthcare.
Science at Kings
King’s College London is investing £45.5 million in science talent, research, education and infrastructure to accelerate growth, interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. The major multi-million-pound investment in education, research and state-of-the-art facilities at King's is advancing knowledge, strengthening skills and powering exploration across the sciences.
