What does it take to make quantum communication truly secure? In this episode, theoretical physicist Dr. Doris Reiter breaks down the science behind the SUPER project — Swing UP of Quantum EmittER Population — and why it’s a game-changer for quantum light and secure data transfer.

From single photons to the no-cloning theorem, Doris uses vivid analogies (yes, including pool ladders and splashes!) to explain how her team’s breakthrough idea quickly moved from theory to successful experiments in labs worldwide.

🎖️ Doris was recently awarded the Emmy Noether Distinction by the European Physical Society for her outstanding contributions to physics and dedication to gender equality in science.

If you’ve ever wondered how quantum mechanics can help secure your future communication, this episode is for you.

How can we image living brain cells in 3D—without freezing, staining, or harming them? In this episode, physicist and optics innovator Prof. Humeyra Caglayan joins host Dr. Pranoti Kshirsagar to discuss snapshot 3D microscopy—a breakthrough technology combining meta-optics, real-time image reconstruction, and volumetric imaging.

You’ll learn how this method enables fast, non-invasive 3D imaging of living tissues, from zebrafish brains to cardiac cells—opening new frontiers in biomedical imaging, neuroscience, and even surgical diagnostics.

This conversation connects optics, nanotechnology, software, and biology in a powerful interdisciplinary story of innovation.
