OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Quantum in Pictures
Using pictures alone, this talk introduces a new way to understand quantum physics – often seen as mysterious, counterintuitive, and difficult to learn, typically requiring advanced mathematics. The pictures are not mere illustrations – they form a new mathematical language specifically designed to describe quantum processes and computation. Yet, they are intuitive enough to make quantum theory accessible to everyone. We will explore the key concepts behind quantum theory and quantum computing, offering a fresh and approachable perspective on the quantum world.
