Quantum Light



‘Quantum Light’ is an exhibit which we created to tell the story of how we can use light for communication today. This exhibit also demonstrates how light can be used to build future quantum computing devices — this topic is at the core of our research.

We have been busy presenting our exhibits at the EPSRC Physical Sciences Impact Showcase, Discovery Night, the Exploring STEM for Girls event and returning to the Cheltenham Science Festival.

We were selected for the Summer Science Exhibition 2015 at the Royal Society, the Cheltenham Science Festival 2017 and have attended Discovery Night and Researcher’s Nights in Sheffield.
