Net Echt is the podcast by the Universiteit van Amsterdam where films, series, and pop culture are examined through a scientific lens. In episode 20 Oppenheimer: Is Quantum the Next Atomic Bomb?  the film Oppenheimer by director Christopher Nolan was the subject. Nuclear energy expert Machiel Kleemans and our QISS researcher Eline de Jong, discussed what moral dilemmas Oppenheimer faced, what can we learn from the way politics and science collaborated, and what lessons can this offer us for emerging technologies such as AI and Quantum.
