Opening Night – Emergence: An Artistic Exploration of Quantum Science

The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS) unites leading researchers from five Australian universities in building quantum machines that harness the full spectrum of quantum physics.

Light refreshments (drinks and canapés) will be available for attendees, free of charge.Several of the artists, as well as scientists and science communicators, will be in attendance on the night to answer any questions you may have. You may also vote for your favourite artwork for the People’s Choice Prize!A﻿bout the exhibitionEmergence showcases the entries to the 2022 EQUS Quantum Art Competition.Run by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS), the 2022 Quantum Art Competition invited artists to explore quantum science through their medium of choice, drawing inspiration from the competition theme, ‘emergence’:Quantum physics tells us that our world, at the fundamental level, is alien to our intuitive reality in many ways.The world with which we are familiar is governed by the rules of classical physics. These rules allow us to predict precisely the behaviour of large objects like grains of sand, soccer balls, and even planets.But on very small scales (such as the scales of electrons, photons and atoms) the Universe obeys different rules—the rules of quantum physics. In the quantum regime, the world is inherently fuzzy and probabilistic. There are many phenomena (such as superposition and entanglement) that challenge our classical intuitions.Somewhere between these two scales, our intuitive world emerges from the strange quantum world. We know that the underlying physics is quantum, but it appears classical at large scales. Exactly how this happens is one of the biggest mysteries of modern physics.Put another way: emergence is a phenomenon whereby the apparent behaviour of a system on a large scale appears vastly different from the true, underlying nature on a small scale.T﻿he exhibition is open to the public daily from 29 June to 3 July:<ul><li>29 June: 10:00 am–4:30 pm</li><li>30 June–3 July: 10:00 am–5:30 pm</li></ul>E﻿xhibition guide coming soon!C﻿ontact comms@equs.org for more information or if you have any questions.<a href="https://equs.org/news/congratulations-winners" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">&gt; Learn more about the 2022 Quantum Art Competition winners and finalists</a>
