From lasers used in supermarket checkouts, to the emergence of complex supercomputers, quantum is all around us. Recently the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for quantum breakthroughs, with experiments having implications for computing, sensing, and our understanding of the universe.
At the University of Liverpool, quantum is part of our Particle Physics research frontier, where scientists probe the smallest building blocks of matter, the fundamental forces that govern them, and the technologies that help us study them. How has quantum research helped shape our world, and what could the future of quantum science bring for technology and society?
Host Gavin Freeborn discusses the topic with quantum experts Professor Brianna Heazlewood, who leads the Cold Chemical Physics Group, Dr Jonathan Tinsley, whose work explores gravitational waves and dark matter, and Marina Maneyro, a quantum computing PhD student at University of Liverpool.
