Don't Panic, It's Just Quantum!

  • - (AEST)
  • National Communication Museum
    375 Burwood Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122, Australia

Does hearing the word 'quantum' make you want to crumple into a heap of existential confusion?

When someone mentions qubits does your brain turn into the confused maths lady meme?

Even Einstein was suspicious of Quantum Theory, so how do we stand a chance? Don’t worry, NCM is here to help you and whisper soothing sounds when the Quantum Scaries hit.

We have gathered experts from across Melbourne to guide you through an afternoon explaining the ins and outs, throughs and roundabouts of quantum physics in a way that will have you nodding along and actually understanding what's happening. Our speakers break down the core components of quantum physics into bite sized (and enjoyable) pieces while explaining their areas of research and how it effects the world we live in.

Do you want to impress (and surprise) your friends and family with your theoretical superiority and expertise in Quantum? Then grab a spot in our Quantum Support Group.

This program is free with a museum entry ticket, but ensure you reserve your place so you don't miss out.

There will be a small bar open for purchases of beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages.
