Quantum for Everyone
When quantum meets art, culture, education and society
The World Quantum Cannes Festival is opening a new space dedicated to the wider public, bringing the quantum revolution beyond laboratories, companies and research institutions.
Quantum for Everyone explores how quantum science is already shaping our world — and how it may transform the way we live, create, learn and understand reality. Through art, film, graphic storytelling and hands-on experiences, this programme offers new and accessible ways to discover the fascinating world of quantum.
Quantum Through Art
Making The Invisible Visible
Quantum science challenges the way we understand reality. Through art, artists can make these invisible phenomena tangible - transforming concepts such as uncertainty, superposition, entanglement, light and probability into new forms of perception and experience.
The Festival brings together a diverse artistic journey, with works by Julian Voss-Andreae, Libby Heaney, Studio Above&Below, Arotin & Serghei, and ZooScan, alongside music, film, immersive experiences and visual storytelling.
From sculpture and digital art to light, sound and immersive installations, these artists invite us to experience the quantum world through imagination, perception and emotion.
Quantum Waves
What if music could help understand us understand the quantum revolution
Quantum Waves offers a unique encounter between quantum science, music and artificial intelligence. Jean-Claude Heudin, Laurence Malherbe and FreD Martin, explore the principles of quantum mechanics through music, using quantum notes inspired by the behaviour of qubits — superposition, coherence, decoherence and entanglement.
The experience combines a short introduction to the principles of quantum music, a live audiovisual performance with ANGELIA, Heudin’s generative AI project, and an exchange with the audience.

The Lost Manuscript of von Neumann
Quantum Physics Meets Graphic Storytelling
What if a lost manuscript could lead us back to the greatest debates in the history of quantum physics?
The Lost Manuscript of von Neumann is a graphic novel combining scientific investigation, history and fiction. As investigators Camille and Noëmie follow the trail of a mysterious manuscript attributed to John von Neumann, they encounter some of the thinkers who shaped quantum mechanics — including Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Born and von Neumann.
At the heart of the story lies a fundamental question: How does the possible become real?
An original and accessible way to discover the ideas, controversies and mysteries that lie at the heart of quantum physics.
Our Quantum Future
The Quantum Revolution on Screen
Discover Our Quantum Future, a documentary exploring the extraordinary potential of quantum technologies and their impact on our future.
Through the voices of scientists, innovators and leading figures from the quantum ecosystem, the film takes viewers beyond the technical complexity of quantum science to explore a fundamental question: what could the quantum revolution mean for humanity ?
A cinematic journey into a world that is no longer science fiction — but is rapidly becoming our reality.
Qolour — Put Quantum in Your Hands
Experience Quantum, Don't Just Hear About It
Qolour brings quantum science to life through playful, hands-on experiences designed to make quantum computing tangible and accessible.
Its Qubieducational tool allows people to explore the fundamental principles of quantum computing, experiment with qubits and discover concepts such as entanglement in an intuitive way. Qolour's mission is simple: the world should know quantum.
At the World Quantum Cannes Festival, visitors will have the opportunity to experience quantum rather than simply hear about it — turning complex scientific concepts into something they can see, touch and explore.
Quantum Made Accessible
Learn. Explore. Understand.
The programme will also feature accessible introductions to quantum technologies, designed for SMEs, curious minds and anyone who wants to understand what quantum actually means — without needing a physics degree.
Through talks, demonstrations and educational sessions, visitors will discover the fundamentals of quantum computing and its potential applications, while gaining a clearer perspective on what is already possible today and what may come next.
