World Quantum Day - 14th April
World Quantum Day aims to promote public understanding of quantum science and technology around the world. The UK is at the forefront of research into Quantum Technology, where physics pushes the cutting edge of technological innovation.
The resources in this collection can be used with students aged 14-19 with some coming from the UK National Quantum Technologies programme which brings A-level physics and computer science bang up-to-date. Students will see how the physics they learn about, and the practical activities they carry out, directly relate to future careers.
You can read about how your students can be inspired by Quantum Technologies here.

Quantum quirks
Scientists at The University of Oxford are utilising the quantum quirks of light to study how single photons could be used to provide un-hackable data protection, quantum computers and powerful microscopes. This activity is suitable as a follow-on lesson...
Quantum Key Distribution
Produced in 2015, these resources look at the development of encoding messages and how technology and science has developed to allow us to keep messages secure. Looking at unintuitive quantum properties of light, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principal and entanglement, students will see how keys can be shared to ensure...
Artificial atoms
Scientists at The University of Oxford are working on methods of using quantum dots to produce a stream of identical single photons with the hope of using this to provide un-hackable data protection, quantum computers and powerful microscopes. This activity is suitable as a follow-on lesson after...
Black Holes - an Essential Component of Our Universe
Black holes provide an important tool for testing the fundamental laws of the universe. This resource from the Institute of Physics, looks at the extreme physics associated with black holes, how we can spot them, and what roles they may play in galaxy formation.
This guide looks at stellar black holes and...
