Frontiers of Physics
Welcome to the Frontiers of Physics Public Lecture Series, presented by the University of Washington's Department of Physics. Our mission is to make the wonders of physics accessible and approachable to everyone, regardless of background. We invite renowned scientists to share groundbreaking discoveries and insights from the forefront of research. Best of all, these lectures are completely free, fostering curiosity and inspiring the next generation of thinkers. Join us in exploring the universe, from the tiniest particles to the vastness of space, and discover how physics shapes our world.

Quantum mechanics was developed to describe the physics of the small, for fundamental particles, atoms and molecules. But does it still work for macroscopic systems? Dr. Martinis will describe the history of creating macroscopic quantum systems in the lab, from fundamental tests of quantum laws to the latest in quantum devices and quantum computing.
