Join us as we journey down the path that connects horseshoes to pocket computers in this one-of-a-kind talk by internationally renowned physicist Gordon Baym.
Specifically crafted for a non-technical audience, Professor Baym is not only entertaining but provides a relevant and real-world overview of quantum mechanics thus far... and where it might be going in the not-too-distant future.
No prior physics knowledge required, questions are encouraged, curiosity and a sense of humour are a must!
This talk was made possible with funding from Te Whai Ao - Dodd-Walls Centre.

As Rutherford's Den is a heritage space it is a non-accessible space.
