The National Quantum & Dark Matter Road Trip is a joint initiative between the Australian Research Council Centres of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS) and Dark Matter Particle Physics (CDM).  We are grateful to the Australian Government and Inspiring Australia for providing additional funding through the National Science Week grant scheme.

The nature of dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries of the Universe, and Australia is a key player in the quest to figure it out.  Dark matter accounts for 84% of all the matter in the Universe, but we don’t yet know what it is.  Quantum technologies are crucial in the hunt for dark matter, and they’re already used in smart phones and cars, medical imaging, manufacturing and navigation.  But today’s technologies capture only a small fraction of the potential of quantum physics.

The National Quantum & Dark Matter Road Trip is a travelling science show, bringing all things quantum and dark matter to a town near you!  To coincide with National Science Week, a team of scientists and science communicators travel around Australia, delivering engaging presentations, hands-on activities, pub quizzes and more!
