This event has been organised to mark UNESCO's International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Find out more about what we are doing here at the Department of Physics and how Oxford is at the forefront of the second quantum revolution: Quantum at Oxford.
Ever wondered what quantum technologies actually are? Or who’s building them and why? Join us for Quantum in a Flash, an evening of fast-paced public talks and a panel discussion with early-career researchers working at the forefront of quantum science.
Open to all, no physics background required!
The panel
In just 15 minutes per talk, speakers from academia, industry, and government will take you inside their work – from quantum computers and sensors to career journeys, real-world applications, and big-picture questions. The flash talks will be followed by a panel and audience Q&A.
Featured speakers:
- Amy Hughes is a Quantum Scientist at Oxford Ionics working on bringing trapped ion quantum computing to commercial viability.
- Mustafa Bakr is a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford working on quantum computing with superconducting circuit devices.
- Peter Drmota is a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at the University of Oxford, working on quantum networks for computing, communication, metrology, and the foundations of physics using trapped ions. He is also a cofounder of Quantum Fabrix Ltd.
- Annika Möslein is the Head of Engineering at Quantum Dice, using photonic quantum systems to generate true and certified random numbers.
Booking
This event is now fully booked, and we are no longer taking new bookings. However, we anticipate there may be some last-minute dropouts. If you're still keen to attend, you are welcome to come to the venue this evening and see if any spaces become available.
