AIP-FLEET live-streamed talk: OzHF What can Australia’s proposed high-frequency gravitational-wave detector teach us about neutron stars?
Presenter: Dr Paul Lasky, OzGrav-Monash University Since the first detection of gravitational waves in 2015 from colliding black holes a billion light years away, the field of gravitational-wave astronomy has gone from strength to strength. The watershed discovery of colliding neutron stars in 2017 that was seen with gravitational waves and across the electromagnetic spectrum gave new insights into the speed of gravity, how matter behaves at supranuclear densities, and cosmology. Paul will describe a detailed plan to build OzHF: a…

Presenter: A. Prof Nicolas C Menicucci ,CQC²T Chief Investigator, RMIT Quantum computers promise to revolutionise information processing by exploiting the curious features of quantum physics. One of the biggest challenges to a viable quantum computer with real-world impact is scaling it up to handle large computations. Optical modes can be stitched together into extremely large entangled resource states for quantum computing, comprising one million modes or more, if continuous variables are used instead of single photons. In this talk, I…

AIP-FLEET live-streamed talk: The physics of climate modelling
Watch on Zoom, all welcome. Join us for an introduction into the field of climate modelling for interested physicists outside the field of climate dynamics. We will cover the two main approaches to modelling climate: (1) Energy balance. This approach gives a good starting point in understanding the basics of the earth climate and helps to understand how greenhouse gasses warm the earth. 2) General circulation. This is the approach of state-of-the-art climate models at the high-performance end of climate…
