Speaker Series: The Age of Quantum with James Vandeleur
August 12
2025 is the International Year of Quantum, celebrating the groundbreaking achievements of quantum mechanics – the study of the smallest particles in the universe and their unexpected and extreme behaviours. Quantum revolutionised our understanding of the universe in the last century,and now allows us to make technologies of the future.
“Quantum science” is a much broader term than is often portrayed in popular culture. In this talk, James will explore the fundamental principles of tiny quantum science. You will discover how the seemingly bizarre nature of quantum forced us to re-interpret the world and how a quantum understanding is crucial for technologies in common use today and into the future.
Come and try your hand at peering into this strange world!
