In celebration of the International Day of Light on May 16th, Dr. Katanya Kuntz from the IQC will be joining Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants to talk about what light is really made of, how to catch a photon in the sky, and how this technology can be used to keep our communication safe and secure. Katanya coordinates the Science Team for the Quantum Encryption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat) mission, which is building a satellite that can detect individual particles of light called photons sent from the ground to outer space.
