Quantum mechanics is unquestionably a robust and successful theory - so far, all its predictions have held, and scientists can build powerful technologies based on it. Yet, understanding what it tells us about the nature of reality and how we experience it has proven tricky. Physicists and philosophers have been grappling with it for a century, ironing out some of the early ambiguities, but some conceptual problems remain.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics, hundreds of researchers gathered on Heligoland, the site where Heisenberg developed his groundbreaking theory in 1925.

Without proper care, individual pieces begin to show signs of decay, affecting both their own state and the broader network of devices in the series.
