- **Event Name**: An introduction to quantum theory 2026 (short course)

- **Event Description**: James Millen returns with a 6-part introduction to the world of quantum theoryAbout this EventWhen mentioned in passing, quantum theory can seem mystifying, with talk of uncertainty, being in two places at once and teleportation. However, it is a theory that arose from a need to explain important physical phenomena, such as the structure and behaviour of atoms, and is now used in nearly every area of physics.Join James Millen for his popular six-part short course on an introduction to quantum theory. Quantum theory is essential to understand the interaction of light with matter, semiconductors, superconductors, all of chemistry, lasers and more.Quantum physics also points towards exciting technological developments, many realised in the lab, such as quantum computing, teleportation, simulation and cryptography.This course aims to demystify this most enigmatic area of physics, and to convey the consistency, accuracy and usefulness of quantum theory. There will be discussions on what has been achieved in the field and resulting technological innovations.The following topics will be covered:The historical development of quantum theoryThe structure, language and philosophy of the theoryThe application of quantum theory to fundamental areas of physicsThe use of quantum physics in solids, and exotic systems such as cold atomic gases and superconductorsQuantum information theory, teleportation and entanglement, and the idea of quantum simulationExtending quantum physics from the microscopic world to the macroscopic world around us.The course will run for six, 90-minute sessions on:• Mon 07 Sep• Wed 14 Sep• Mon 21 Sep•Mon 28 Sep• Mon 5 Oct• Mon 19 OctPlease note there is no session on Monday 12 OctoberStrictly 16 years and older.The course costs £400 (£340 Ri Members and Patrons) for six sessions, including all course materials and refreshments.The course is for interest only, with no qualification, examination, or certificate of attendance at its conclusion.Please note this will be the same content as the An Introduction to Quantum Theory (Short Course) delivered in October 2024.
