Quantum: Game-changer or niche? (Online)
Quantum physics describes the behaviour of small particles such as atoms or photons. Recently technology has advanced to the point where this weird behaviour can be harnessed to do a wide range of things such as build powerful quantum computers, ultra-sensitive sensors, incredibly precise clocks and unhackable communications. This talk will provide an up-to-date view of quantum, with an honest appraisal of the outlook for this fascinating area with an emphasis on communications.

The Sinking of the Flying Enterprise - a mystery and a conspiracy theory
An adventure on the Atlantic in January 1952 involving an ex-WWII Liberty Ship. This ship had survived the war and was on a voyage from Hamburg to New York when it was hit by a hurricane. The master was Kurt Carlsen, a well-known radio amateur on the ten-meter band, and he improvised a radio that was to be a vital link in the drama that followed. Three people showed remarkable courage, as the ship hung between life and death for six days, leaving an enduring mystery and a conspiracy theory.
