The Quantum Workshop

Oh yeah, TQW are back at full strength! Quantum James and Quantum Lia are fully representing with a sold out Pint of Science talk tonight in glamorous “Little Australia”, aka Clapham. Expect jokes about Ant & Dec, and very many Avengers Endgame spoilers.

James from TQW co-organised Late Light 2019, an evening of public and scientific lectures, and an exhibition of specially curated artworks inspired by research into Photonics. It was a huge success, with over 250 people attending.

We had an amazing night at the Royal Society Summer Exhibiton’s “lates” night, deftly fielding the eternal questions “what’s the application, then?”.

It was also TQW’s first chance to represent the Physics department at King’s College London.

Quantum James is part of London Light, an interdisciplinary network studying the applications of light. The Quantum Workshop was present and correct at their launch event, which also celebrated the International Day of Light!

Although the venue was somewhat like a nightmarishly large school from the 60s, TQW thoroughly enjoyed being at European Researcher’s Night in Vienna. Many deep chats, and many deep thanks to Ugur and Lana for their assistance.

TQW took a flight! We went on an aeroplane to Lisbon, to deliver a workshop to quantum scientists on optical levitation and doing science outreach, at a training school on Quantum Technologies for Space. It was fun! TQW didn’t get travel sick.

Quantum James has written an article about when quantum machines will take over the world!
