Friday 4th June- The Science of Quantum Physics: Wave or Particle?

Quantum physics is the physics that explains how everything works. For instance, if you want to explain how electrons move through a computer chip, how photons of light get turned to electrical current in a solar panel or amplify themselves in a laser, or even just how the sun keeps burning, you’ll need to use quantum physics. There are a lot of surprising and controversial aspects of this field of science. Join us at the “Science in the Pub” to find out more about research and technological advances in quantum physics...

We are pleased to announce our panellists are:

• Dr James Quach - Ramsay Fellow, University of Adelaide
• Prof Anthony Thomas - Elder Prof of Physics, University of Adelaide
• Dr Boris Blankleider - Senior Lecturer, Flinders University

​Please join us on Friday 4th June at the Rob Roy Hotel (106 Halifax Street, Adelaide). This event kicks off at 6:00 pm and will finish by approx. 7:30 pm. Doors will open at 5:30 pm.
NOTE: DUE TO COVID REGULATIONS THERE ARE LIMITED PLACES AND THE EVENT WILL BE TICKETED. Attendance is free, but restricted to ticketholders only. Due to the high demand, if ticketholders do not arrive by 5:55pm, their ticket will be forfeit and their place given away.
The principal goal of SciPubAdelaide is to make science engaging and accessible to the public. Each panel consists of three experts who deliver 10-15 minute presentations on their area and then open up to questions from the audience via a moderator. Panellists are selected primarily on their ability to effectively communicate science in an engaging and non-technical manner. SciPubAdelaide is held in a pub so that scientists, aspiring scientists, and non-scientists can learn, discuss and think critically about hot topics in science.
We will be delighted to see you there!
