2025 Marie Curie Lectures, Claire Corani Memorial Lecture – 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 of electrons– such as their “spin” – to advance a new technological revolution….
