Quantum Century Talk with Dr Danielle Holmes

  • Free
  • Family and kids

One hundred years ago, quantum physics was born to explain the curious behaviour of tiny things. Since then, it has become our most accurate theory in history. It has unlocked secrets of our universe, such as why stars shine and how migratory birds navigate.

In this talk, Dr Danielle Holmes takes you on a journey to visit these surprising and consequential wonders of the quantum world. She will reveal how scientists are now harnessing quantum physics to develop revolutionary computers that will solve problems that are currently out of reach, such as designing new medicines to fight disease and developing new materials to combat climate change. Quantum physics is the most powerful tool that humans possess, not just for increasing our understanding of the world, but for shaping its future.

The Australian Institute of Physics' 2025 Marie Curie Lecture series is currently touring nationally to celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.
