MONTHLY BUZZ | Demystifying Quantum Technology
Quantum technologies are based on phenomena that can seem more like magic than science — spooky action at a distance, teleportation, cats both dead and alive, collapsing wavefunctions, and results that change when you look at them. So, it may come as a surprise to know that quantum technology is here today, and those futuristic quantum devices are not so very far away. Panelists: Jacqui Romero - Senior Lecturer of Quantum Physics, University of Queensland Andre Luiten - Managing Director,…

Using nanomaterials to create smart, miniaturised optical technologies that represent a whole new field in optics is the theme of the next AIP live-streamed event. Professor Dragomir Neshev from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS), based at the Australian National University, will explain how nanotechnology provides a new concept for the manipulation of light in ultra-thin materials. The approach, he says, overcomes the obstacles encountered by lens-based miniaturisation. The livestream kicks off at 2pm AEST, on…

AIP Theoretical Physics Seminar: Dark Matter Puzzles from Indirect Searches
AIP Theoretical Physics Seminar Series Dark Matter Puzzles from Indirect Searches Tracy Slater, MIT Friday 28 May 11:00 AEST Abstract: The nature and origin of dark matter is one of the key unresolved questions of fundamental physics. Astrophysical and cosmological data provide powerful probes of dark matter properties, although to date no signal has been confirmed. I will discuss a number of claimed possible signals of novel dark matter physics in astrophysical datasets, alternative explanations, and open questions, with a…
