Surrey PhD students at Manchester Science Festival
The stand Schrodinger's Cat in a Silicon Chip, which also exhibited at the Royal Society in June, was visited hundreds of families over the course of the day, with children as young as four being introduced to the wonders of the quantum world. Our demonstrators used the analogy of waves on a string to show how an electron can be in two places at once and visitors were asked to think what they would choose to do if they could be in two places at once.
This stand will also be exhibited at:
Brighton Science Festival - February 2012
Big Bang Fair - 15th - 18th March 2012
