Decoding Reality

New Scientist Events

An unique opportunity for anyone interested in physics, whatever your age or background, to learn directly from a renowned world expert

New Scientist presents ...<h2>Online Event: Decoding Reality</h2><h3>Vlatko Vedral, professor of quantum physics, University of Oxford</h3>Our understanding of reality is based on the observations we make of the world around us. The best description of all observed phenomena is based on quantum physics and, if we assume that the way our observations are made is also quantum, then reality emerges from the information shared between the observer and the observed that equals to the amount of entanglement between them. In this online lecture, Vlatko Vedral will explain how the whole universe can be seen as an entangled web of quantum bits.Following Vlatko’s fascinating and absorbing lecture, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions about quantum physics and the nature of reality. What&#x27;s included in your ticket:<ul><li>Live lecture lasting 40 minutes, which will be available to watch on demand for 12 months</li><li>Q&amp;A with Vlakto Vedral</li><li>On-demand access to a recording of the lecture and Q&amp;A for 12 months</li><li>Exclusive access to Eugenia Cheng&#x27;s 40-minute lecture The Power of Abstraction, filmed at our Instant Expert physics and mathematics masterclass</li><li>Bonus content from New Scientist including a printable poster of the structure of reality</li></ul>About the speakers:Vlatko Vedral has published over 300 research papers on various topics in quantum physics and quantum computing. He has given numerous invited plenary and public talks in the last 25 years of his career. He was awarded the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award in 2007 and the World Scientific Medal and Prize in 2009 and was elected a Fellow of IOP in 2017. He has held many visiting professorships, among which are those held at the Universities of Vienna, Singapore (NUS), Belo Horizonte and at Perimeter Institute in Canada. He is the author of 4 textbooks and two popular books.
