This talk will review the seminal work, and enduring legacy, of quantum pioneers Tony Klein and Geoff Opat in devising and performing the neutron-interference experiment which observed fermionic quantum phase acquired upon 2$\pi$ rotation.
In the dual HMW effect a topological phase emerges when electric dipoles pass around a line source of magnetic charges. When measured it also gave a much more precise measurement of the Aharonov Casher effect.
Atom interferometry offers stable, compact, primary sensing that can advance applications in ground water mapping, mineral exploration, planetary exploration and inertial navigation among other fields. I describe recent advances at ANU in techniques and applications.
The general theory of relativity, presented by Albert Einstein in 1915, has been well tested over the last century, and has led to far-reaching consequences, most of which were foreseen by Einstein himself. Two notable exceptions were that he did not predict the prevalence of space-time singularities throughout general solutions of the Einstein field equation, and although he knew that...
In recent years, it has been shown that silicon is not only the foremost electronic and photovoltaic material but can be structurally modified to dramatically enhance its properties and applications. This presentation highlights two such cases. First, silicon has been shown to possess up to 12 crystalline phases in addition to the equilibrium diamond cubic structure that has fueled the silicon...
IUPAP was established in 1922 as the world was rebuilding itself after the 1914-1918 war. It has supported physics and physicists in the for the last 100 years, and will support them for the next 100 years.
Bruce was the President of IUPAP from 2014 to 2017, and is now the Past President on the Executive Council. He is emeritus Professor at the University of Melbourne.
In addition to its Commissions IUPAP has a number of Working Groups which aim to focus and develop new research fields and activities that would be difficult to resource through traditional methods. The Working Group on International Cooperation in Nuclear Physics (WG.9) will serve as an example what these groups can achieve.
