QUANTUM GAMES AND QUANTUM INFORMATION
Professor Anton Zeilinger
University of Vienna and Scientific Director of the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences
A quantum magician can play tricks that defy our classical imagination. For example, futuristic quantum dice rolled at an arbitrary distance can show the same number, or quantum balls hidden under a cup can exhibit colors impossible in any classical scenario.

Terahertz Wave Detection Based on Low-Dimensional Electron Systems
Dr Yukio Kawano
Tokyo Institute of Technology
In this talk, Dr Kawano gives the advantageous properties of terahertz (THz) waves - permeability through objects opaque for visible light, the important energy spectrum in the meV range, etc.

Leverhulme Lecture
Lost in Intergalactic Space
You've signed up for a mission to travel to the nearest star.
Unfortunately due to a computer error you end up travelling in
hibernation through space at a tenth of the speed of light for a billion
years. This talk is about where you end up, how we know what the
remotest possible regions of the Universe are like, and why studying
them can tell us more about the beginning (and fate) of the Universe
than anywhere else.
