Prof Vlatko Vedral opens our Quantum Science Distinguished Lecture Series

We are pleased to announce Professor Vlatko Vedral as our first speaker in the Zepler Institute’s Quantum Science Distinguished Lecture Series. Professor Vedral will present ‘Probes of quantum behaviour in organic molecules’ next Wednesday, 11th February at 5pm in Building 2a (Music Annex) lecture theatre 2065.

Vlatko Vedral is a professor at both the University of Oxford and the National University of Singapore and is a world-famous expert in Quantum Information Theory. His research focuses on understanding the foundations of quantum mechanics and its implications in biological processes and thermodynamics. He is also known for his popular-science interpretations of quantum physics, broadcasting for BBC Radio 4’s Material World and writing accessible books and articles about the fundamental implications of quantum information.

Professor Vedral is an internationally-renowned scientist, skilled in the art of public speaking and his lecture promises to be an entertaining and lively presentation of his latest research.

The Quantum Science Distinguished Lecture Series will run throughout February and early March 2015, during which time we will have the honour of hosting talks from Professor Mark Loncar (Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences), Professor Jonathan Finley (Technische Universität München (TUM)) and Prof Kartik Srinivasan (National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)).

Whether you are an undergraduate, even in your first year, or a postgraduate, or if you simply have an interest in quantum science we welcome you to join us for these special events.
