Dr Sol H. Jacobsen explores the fascinating world of spintronics — a field where quantum science already meets real-world applications. Sol is about to tour Australia for the Marie Curie Lectures as part of an award from the Australian Institute of Physics. Learn how manipulating electron spin opens doors to ultra-efficient information processing, and why this isn't just about quantum computing. We also dive into deeper territory: where does science end and philosophy begin? Sol discusses how quantum mechanics challenges our understanding of reality — and why these ideas matter to everyone, not just physicists.Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or just quantum-curious, this episode is a must-listen.
