2025 Marie Curie Lectures – Your quantum future with Dr Sol H Jacobsen
The humble electron is a pillar of modern technology. They power almost every aspect of daily life, from your toaster to your phone. But these devices use only one quantum property of the electrons: their charge. Today, physicists are harnessing other properties – such as their “spin” – to advance a new technological revolution. This…
2025 Marie Curie Lectures – From Quantum Past to Quantum Future with Dr Sol H Jacobsen and Dr Danielle Holmes
The first quantum century fundamentally changed the way we understand and interact with our world. It gave us much of the technology underpinning modern life: lasers, LEDs, GPS, MRI, solar cells, electron microscopes, and myriad others. The revolutionary potential of the next quantum century promises applications necessary for solving our greatest global challenges. Join us…

Have our multi-crises of climate change, over-consumption, over-reliance on vulnerable technologies, and [insert your favourite impending disaster here] finally brought us to the brink? Or is there still time to change course and rescue our modern civilisation from going the way…
Knots, Graphs, and Algebra, a Story of Surprises — Sydney Mathematical Research Institute Public Lecture
Knots are everywhere: in the strings of our DNA, in the structure of super-strong materials, and in mathematics, where knots lurk behind all three-dimensional shapes. Graphs model social networks, transit maps, neural nets, and are one of the most basic objects in modern combinatorics. But what does the mathematics of knots have to do with the mathematics of…
