Quantum Public Lecture – Seeing the invisible: Journey into the quantum world

Seeing the Invisible: Journey into the Quantum World From atomic structure, to the composition of stars, to teleportation, quantum physics has led to amazing discoveries over the past century. Understanding the microscopic world of atoms and photons has also led to modern technologies like lasers and computers that have transformed our everyday lives. Yet the quantum world remains a mysterious place full of bizarre phenomena such as entanglement and quantum uncertainty. Come and hear Dr. Shohini Ghose talk about her voyage into this weird and wonderful invisible world, and the surprising lessons she learned about physics and about being a physicist. This event is sponsored by Theory Canada 10 and IQST of the University of Calgary (Faculty of Science) and is part of the Quantum talks.
