Curious Minds by Zoom: Quantum Entanglement

Quantum Mechanics is our most successful explanation of how the World works on a tiny scale. But nothing about it is intuitive – least of all the phenomenon that Einstein called “Spooky action at a distance”.Dr Mehul Malik is an Associate Professor of Physics at Heriot-Watt University, where he leads the Beyond Binary Quantum Information research group (BBQLab.org).He is an Early Career Fellow of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and holds a prestigious Starting Grant of the European Research Council (ERC). He was recently awarded the RSE/Makdougall Brisbane Medal of the Royal Society of Edinburgh for his work in pushing the boundaries of our understanding of quantum mechanics and its use in modern technologies such as quantum cryptography and communications.Mehul lives in Edinburgh with his wife, two children, dog and cat.Time, Place TicketingVenue: The lecture will be live in the Soutar Lecture Theatre of the AK Bell Library and broadcast on a live stream via Zoom.This ticket is £2 and will allow you to watch it online.What is Curious Minds?Curious Minds is a full season of fascinating, stimulating and challenging talks by some of Scotland’s leading academics.For Season 6 of Curious Minds, we have a fabulous and eclectic mix of topics to get your brain working on a Friday night with a stellar cast of guests from Universities and Research labs all over the country.
