The Quantum Disco

Take to the tiniest disco floor in the universe as we shrink down to explore the quantum realm through dance!

To celebrate 2025 marking the UNESCO International Year of Quantum, funky physicists from the London Centre for Nanotechnology are stepping away from their labs. Alongside driving the second quantum tech revolution, they've choreographed a unique movement class exploring quantum’s strangest elements. From quantum tunnelling to strange superposition and spooky entanglement, this is your chance to step, spin, and strut your funky stuff like a quantum particle!

The Quantum Disco will run at 13.00–13.40, 14.20–15.00, 15.40–16.20, and 17.00–17.40 on both Saturday and Sunday.

Advance tickets have opened for booking and there will also be drop-in spaces available on the Festival weekend.
