The classical and quantum worlds are not as apart as we thought.

Eva Miranda, a renowned researcher in symplectic and Poisson geometry, explains how “hidden” geometric structures can unite classical and quantum frameworks. Eva dives into integrable systems, Bohr–Sommerfeld leaves, and the art of geometric quantization, revealing a promising path to bridging longstanding gaps in theoretical physics.
