An annual interdisciplinary forum to bring together physicists, chemists, materials scientists and theoreticians in and around Oxford to advance the science and promote direct collaboration between groups interested in novel quantum materials and phenomena. The focus theme this year is Quantum Matter at Nanoscale and we have three invited guests speakers:
Past Events for Other
The combination of high energy density (HED) facilities around the world spanning microjoules to megajoules, with time scales ranging from femtoseconds to microseconds, enables new regimes of plasma science to be experimentally probed. The ability to shock and ramp compress samples at Mbar pressures and simultaneously probe them allows dense, strongly coupled, Fermi degenerate plasmas relevant to planetary interiors, as well as solid-state lattice dynamics and plastic flows, to be studied.
Professor Charles Kane, Class of 1965 Endowed Term Chair & Professor of Physics, University of Pennsylvania will deliver the 55th Cherwell-Simon Lecture.

It's the University of Oxford Alumni Weekend, and the Dept. of Physics will be opening its doors for the first time. A fantastic opportunity for alumni, family & friends to visit one of the best Departments of Physics in the world.
73rd Harden Conference - Machines on Genes II - The central dogma at the interface of biology, chemistry and physics
19—23 August 2012
St Anne's College, Oxford, UK
Motivation:
To bring together people working on telescopes and instrumentation across a range of wavelengths to provide an update on status and progress, identify synergies and consider how a healthy programme of technology and instrument development can be sustained into the future. Speakers will be encouraged to identify how the key technology developments, on which their instrument rely, came about.
