Democracy after Brexit

Date: 25/03/2020
Location:: School of Physics & Astronomy
Description: The Institute for Policy and Engagement brings you another instalment of its public lectures series. We are delighted that the next speaker is going to be Professor David Runciman, Professor of Politics at Cambridge University.Following the UK's departure from the EU and global politics changing rapidly throughout the world, Professor Runciman, will discuss in relation to his recent books, "How Democracy Ends" and "Where Power Stops", how democracy will look in a post-Brexit world.The series offers you the chance to hear from people who can offer insights into a complex and rapidly changing world that defies traditional analysis, and who can reflect on what it means to be an "expert" and to build trust in a less deferential, sceptical and often polarised environment.

Quantum resources and where to find them

Date: 12/01/2020
Location:: School of Physics & Astronomy
Description: A lecture delivered by Professor Gerardo Adesso on quantum resources and where to find them.The quirky features of the quantum realm have puzzled scientists for a century. Microscopic particles can be in superpositions of two states at once — say heads and tails — and share entanglement, a correlation that defies their separation in space and time. Efforts in unmasking and controlling these features triggered a technological overhaul rivalling last century's industrial revolutions. This talk will venture into the foundations of quantum mechanics and illustrate recent progress in exploiting its most elusive signatures as resources for disruptive information and communication tasks.
