In Person

I sometimes participate in science events and one-day masterclasses on subjects that affect us all and help to explain the world around us.

Hay Festival: The Quantum Revolution

Castle Marquee, Dairy Meadows, Hay-on-Wye, HR3 5PJ

28 November 2025 @ 5.30pm

We stand on the edge of a quantum revolution. Join Paul Davies and Vlatko Vedral for an engaging journey through the past, present and future of quantum physics, and discover how it could transform our lives.

In Quantum 2.0, Davies traces the rise of quantum mechanics and today’s emerging “second revolution,” covering advances such as quantum computing, cryptography, and the quantum internet.

In Portals to a New Reality, Vedral explains how quantum information theory and groundbreaking experiments could fundamentally reshape physics and our understanding of the universe.

A Thermometer for Measuring Quantumness

At the quantum scale, heat can flow from cold to hot – a phenomenon that offers physicists a simple, non-destructive way to detect entanglement and other quantum effects. This “anomalous” heat flow could help verify quantum computers and even test whether gravity is quantum.

Why I wrote “Portals to a New Reality”

My new book is about the next revolution in physics. It explains in an accessible manner what I believe to be five key ‘thought experiments’ that will provide us with clues about what our next fundamental laws should be like. Each central chapter is about one such experiment – its motivations and how it will allow us to open a window on the future theory of physics.

Quantum physics is relative too

It’s very popular these days to emphasise differences between quantum physics and the theory of relativity. Some people even maintain that some of these are irreconcilable, which is why – or so proponents of this view maintain – we will not be able to quantize gravity (gravity being captured by the general theory of relativity).
