The 2025 Physics Nobel Prize was awarded for macroscopic quantum tunneling. What is this and what is it good for? I have a brief summary. youtube.com/watch?v=Rgjzur…
A short och concise elevator-pitch-sized summary by @skdh of today’s announcement of the 2025 #NobelPrize in physics. ”Then - once again - one cannot blame the Swedes for being too predictable.”
I was quite surprised by this year's physics Nobel Prize.
Me and Akhil Kallepalli @OptoPhysAkhil had a fantastic long chat as part of the Cracking Quantum podcast! He shared loads of useful insights into beginning an academic career and what life is like as a PhD supervisor. youtu.be/cfNoUPz7VJU
A group of physicists claim they have proof that true randomness exists. This has implications for encryption protocols and computing, but (if true) would also indicate that the past does not determine the present. youtube.com/watch?v=9uk7fo…
OBEs, car thefts, and dogs licking delicate scientific equipment, this dicussion really had it all! Join Prof Doug Paul and I as we discuss the uk hub for Quantum Enabled Position, Navigation, and Timing @QEPNT_Hub youtu.be/gjjZcQKC_bk
How does an artist get interested in quantum science? What do their conversations with a physicist look like and what ideas pop out? Find out in the discussion I had with Gregor Harvie - current artist in residence with the quantum theory group at Glasgow youtu.be/5EhCY3FKaWQ
Now this was a really interesting discussion! @gemmamilne talks about how we hype quantum tech, how that can help build public interest and investment, but also about the potential dangers of hyping too much or in the wrong way youtu.be/pbYbLPxUy0c
In today's video I have a look at several recent studies that document how AI us makes us brain-lazy youtube.com/watch?v=H3_6sR…
"We could be within 5 years of really falsifying Einstein's classical theory." How? By generating entanglement in an experiment to test quantum gravity! I'm excited to release a technical deep-dive into how to test quantum features of gravity, explained in an approachable and intuitive way by Prof Vlatko Vedral from the University of Oxford. We go right from Feynman's original thought experiment about putting a single mass in superposition, to Vlatko and his collaborators' Chiara Marletto & Sougato Bose's recent "BMV" two-mass experimental proposal. As well as carefully explaining what different scenarios and results tell us about the nature of quantum gravity, Vlatko outlines actual experimental requirements and progress towards implementing this crucial test in the near future. 00:00 Coming Up 02:03 Intro 02:56 Feynman's Single Mass Superposition 12:20 Fake Decoherence 23:07 Interfering Neutrons & Conservation Laws 35:10 Two Masses Thought Experiment 49:23 Coupling gravity and Quantum Field 57:05 Quantumness as Non-Commuting Operators 01:10:47 Experimental Proposals 01:26:46 Challenges and Future Directions 01:35:32 Final Thoughts
The Paradox of Knowledge:
Understand. Don't memorize. Learn principles, not formulas. - R. Feynman

Why is Scotland one of the best places to be for quantum research and innovation? Dr Alison McLeod from @Tech_Scot gives us a fantastic answer to this and discusses the scottish quantum industry as a whole. Thanks for the chat Alison! youtu.be/lj6uQdgfAk0
PhD Students - How to write a research proposal? A good research proposal should have the following. 1️⃣ Synopsis 2️⃣ Background to the problem 3️⃣ Significance of the problem 4️⃣ Objectives 5️⃣ Research questions 6️⃣ Methods 7️⃣ Ethical awareness 8️⃣ Timeframe 9️⃣ Facilities 🔟 Budget Anything you'd like to add?

This is super important! I would also say it goes beyond the supervisor. Talk to other researchers in the group and see what the environment is like. Definitely visit if you can. I always offer prospective students the opportunity to talk to current students without me there
A PhD interview works both ways. Ensure that the supervisor is also the right fit for you.

We are delighted to announce we won Best Scottish Festival 2025, at this years’ Scottish Hospitality Awards! 🤩 Thank you to everyone who supported us by voting 👏 We have been nominated for this award 3 times and we are proud to have won all 3 against some stiff competition 🏆
@SamsonS76670087 @PioneerInPhys Oh this happens really easily. We just don't get taught any philosophy (at least the degree programs I have seen). We're usually taught how a thing works but very rarely how someone got to that point of understanding
