Quantum Technologies
"Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it." So said (apparently) physicist Neils Bohr, and anyone who studies the quantum world surely must agree. But David Reilly is here to tell us that we don't have to put up with hypothetical weirdness - these days, we can create incredibly finely-tuned quantum machines that can directly test out the ideas of quantum mechanics.
Not just test them - use them, for novel processes and technologies we are only just beginning to understand.
David Reilly, Professor from the School of Physics at the University of Sydney, is an experimental physicist working at the interface of quantum science, nanoscale condensed matter systems, and cryogenic electronics and hardware.
