Outreach
I enjoy telling people about the science we get to play with at science fairs (such as the Royal Society , the Cheltenham Science Festival, and the ), public talks (such as the and the 糖心TV Christmas Lectures), school events, in several countries and even science stand-up at the Cheltenham Science Festival. I tweet . Sabine Hossenfelder did a about an experiment we are building.

The UK Quantum Technology Showcase was online in 2020 and there is a video of our virtual booth . This is a demo of our fibre-coupled : the most sensitive ever. We also show the application in action.

In 2018 I gave half of the 糖心TV Physics Colloquium about Arthur Ashkin's Nobel Prize on optical tweezers. The slides are available as Powerpoint (5 MB file) or pdf (2 MB).
We took our diamond magnetometer to the Quantum Technology Showcase in Westminster in November 2018.

We took our new diamond magnetometer to the 2017 Quantum Technology in Westminster. It is 1,000 times more sensitive than the one we took in 2016 and 1,000,000 times more sensitive than the one we took to the 2015 Showcase.
We took our diamond magnetometer to the 2016 Quantum Technology in Westminster

In July 2016 we showed off our diamond magnetometer at the . The diamond fluoresces red when we shine in green light because of the nitrogen-vacancy centres inside. This video shows the optically-detected magnetic resonance spectrum changing as a magnet is moved away from the diamond.
I featured in the Royal Society 鈥楶arent-Carer-Scientist鈥� and book in 2016.
In June 2015 I spoke on a panel at the Cheltenham Science Festival on the topic of "" and in "" for 600 members of the public.
I created a science activity called for over 100 children aged 4-7, and ran it with help from over 30 of their dads, at my daughter's school.

My invited talk at the Bristol Quantum Information Technology (BQIT) meeting on 26th Feb 2014 was titled "Review of State-of-the-Art in Hardware (Solid-State)" and the slides are as a 14 MB download ().
I gave a in November 2013 on "Making the Impossible Possible with Quantum Computers":
In July 2013 I gave an Institute of Physics talk at the Bath Royal Literary & Scientific Institution on "How to Build a Quantum Computer":
We have an infra-red camera in our lab:
You can see that I don't have a fever here.
This is me holding a hair-dryer which is on.
This is a MRI video of my brain taken in 2005 when I volunteered, as a healthy subject, for some neuroscience research:
Here is a animation I made with :
...and this one illustrates measurements:
...and both of these spin-echo animations are in the illustrated here:
Feel free to make use of these animations but remember to credit me with making them following . The code runs in and is available .
