Panel Discussion with Nobel Laureates and Eminent Scientists 4 Jan 2024

We live in a quantum age. Quantum computers will be part of everyday life and expand our computer capacity beyond imagination. Quantum computation (QC) together with artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to change life on this planet in a drastic and permanent way. Just imagine an AI robot with a QC central processing unit walking around us and the consequences of that. However, technological progress will depend on the development of quantum engineering and understanding of quantum phenomena.  The quantum Hall effect is one of the most extraordinary examples of quantum behaviour at macroscopic level, namely, the electrical conductivity of a two-dimensional metal becomes quantised to universal values when subjected to an external magnetic field.  

In this Public Panel on “Emergent Behaviours from the Quantum World”, we will discuss the broad impact of quantum Hall effect from basic science to modern technology and how it can inform us on the possible outcomes of a quantum age. 

Our Distinguished Panellists:

Guest of Honour: Prof Phan Anh Tuan | Chair, School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences, NTU Singapore

Moderator: Prof Antonio Castro Neto | Director of Centre for Advanced 2D Materials and Graphene Research Centre, NUS Singapore

This event is held in conjunction with the 9th International Workshop on Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Hall Systems.
