The Quantum Kid: childhood curiosity makes physics more accessible

Physics World's weekly podcast explores how a child's natural curiosity can make quantum mechanics more approachable. The guest is Katia Moskvitch, who co-hosts The Quantum Kid video channel with her ten-year-old son Kai, interviewing leading quantum scientists and touring labs like CERN. Moskvitch says the child-led format puts guests at ease and helps them explain tricky concepts to a general audience, and she argues that early exposure could inspire more young people to study science. That early familiarity, she believes, could build a foundation for the growing quantum sector.
