How can we lower the barrier to learning quantum physics? | Tapio Simula | TEDxSwinburne University

The United Nations declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum, about 100 years after quantum mechanics was initially developed. And yet, teaching quantum mechanics is still quite difficult compared to before. What if there was a way to visualise quantum-like effects right in front of our eyes? Associate Professor Tapio Simula was awarded a D.Sc. (Tech.) degree in physics in 2003 by Helsinki University of Technology. He then held postdoctoral positions in New Zealand, Denmark, and Japan before moving to Australia as a Monash Research Fellow in 2010. In 2019 he became an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellow at Swinburne University of Technology.Tapio is a physicist with broad interests in quantum technologies. His computational, theoretial and experimental research ranges from ultracold atoms, Bose-Einstein condensates, superfluidity, quantised vortices, quantum turbulence, topological quantum computation and analogue gravity to Floquet driven droplet systems that break time-translation symmetry. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
