Vigo ESRs at the International School of Oporto.

ESRs Margarida Pereira and Róbert Trényi visited CLIP, the International School of Oporto in Portugal. They gave a presentation on Quantum Physics and an introduction to Quantum Key Distribution aimed at high school students. After the presentation, there was an informal discussion with the students about this field and also the ESRs shared their own experiences at university, summer internships, studying abroad, and their motivation to study physics.

ESRs at the public outreach event Be Curious 2018

ESRs Guillermo Currás Lorenzo and Yumang Jing participated in the research open day event Be Curious 2018, whose aim was to show the general public the research being carried out in the University of Leeds.

Despite the snow, many people attended the event. In our booth, adults and teenagers could learn about the emerging field of Quantum Communications, while young children could colour Schrödinger’s cats and make other crafts.
