2018 Quantum Materials Public Lecture - What are Quantum Materials? - Professor Andrew Boothroyd

What are Quantum Materials? In the 2018 Oxford Physics Quantum Materials Public Lecture, Professor Andrew Boothroyd explores the question of what makes something a 'quantum material'. From the development of quantum mechanics and theories of electron behaviour in solids, to shining a laser pointer through a tea strainer, via skyrmions, fermions and magnetricity, Professor Boothroyd examines the history and future of this fascinating topic. This lecture was given by Prof Andrew Boothroyd on 26th April 2018 at the Department of Physics, University of Oxford.
