21st Patras Workshop on Axions, WIMPs and WISPs (9 Nov 2026)

Sun, 08 Nov 2026 13:00:00 GMT

From the Standard Model of particle physics to concordance cosmology, many of the most compelling ideas about how the universe works now point toward a rich and elusive dark sector. The 21st Patras Workshop on Axions, WIMPs and WISPs, hosted by The University of Western Australia at its Crawley campus on the banks of the Swan River in Perth, will be held from 9–13 November 2026, and will gather leading experts and emerging researchers to probe this frontier.

Workshop website

Continuing a distinguished series that began at CERN in 2005, the workshop will focus on innovative theoretical developments, laboratory and astrophysical searches for dark matter and dark energy, and state-of-the-art efforts to uncover new weakly interacting particles and constrain their properties. This edition will highlight the growing Australian and Asia–Pacific contributions to dark sector physics, drawing on UWA’s strong ecosystem in precision measurement, quantum technologies and astroparticle physics.

The workshop will delve into the physics of axions, WIMPs and WISPs in all their facets: direct and indirect detection strategies, novel detector concepts and readout schemes, astrophysical and cosmological probes, and the latest theoretical frameworks that knit these approaches together. By bringing together diverse communities, from quantum sensing and precision metrology to gravitational waves, cosmology and particle theory, the Patras Workshop in Perth aims to spark new ideas, forge fresh collaborations and accelerate progress toward unveiling the dark sector.

From prehistoric qubits to building a useful quantum computer

In the span of four decades, quantum computation has evolved from an intellectual curiosity to a potentially realizable technology. John Martinis will describe his thesis work on macroscopic quantum tunnelling and energy-level quantization that led to the Nobel Prize, as well as several other important experiments that advanced superconducting qubits. Nevertheless, the path toward a full-stack scalable technology is a work in progress. There are significant outstanding quantum hardware, fabrication, architecture, and algorithmic challenges that must be solved. In his talk John Martinis will show how the road to scaling could be paved by adopting existing semiconductor technology to build much higher-quality qubits and employing system engineering approaches.

John Martinis did pioneering experiments in superconducting qubits in the mid 1980’s for his PhD thesis. He has worked on a variety of low temperature device physics during his career, focusing on quantum computation since the late 1990s. He was awarded the London Prize in low temperature physics in 2014 for his work in this field. From 2014 to 2020 he worked at Google to build a useful quantum computer, culminating in a quantum supremacy experiment in 2019. He was awarded the John Stewart Bell prize in 2021. In 2023 he co-founded the startup Qolab to build a superconducting quantum computer. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2025. He is in Perth as part of the Forrest Research Foundation Distinguished Visiting Researcher program and will present a plenary lecture at the 21^stPatras Workshop on Axions, WIMPs and Wisps, at The University of Western Australia, November 8-13.

About the speaker: Prof. Ray Volkas is a theoretical particle physicist at the University of Melbourne. His research interests lie in theories that go beyond the Standard Model of particle physics to explain various mysteries, including the tiny but nonzero neutrino masses, the nature of dark matter, and the origin of the cosmological matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, a Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor at the University of Melbourne, and a former Head of Physics at that institution.

Members of the AIP are invited to join us immediately after the lecture for our the Victoria Branch AGM (details will be emailed to members separately).

Public lecture with Physics Nobel Prize Laureate Professor John M. Martinis (17 Nov 2026)

Tue, 17 Nov 2026 07:00:00 GMT

From prehistoric qubits to building a useful quantum computer

Over the past four decades, quantum computing has evolved from a fascinating theoretical concept into one of the world's most promising emerging technologies. In this special lecture, Professor Martinis will reflect on the pioneering research that earned him the Nobel Prize, including his groundbreaking work on macroscopic quantum tunnelling and energy-level quantisation, as well as other key advances that helped establish superconducting qubits as a leading platform for quantum computing.

Despite remarkable progress, significant scientific and engineering challenges remain before large-scale quantum computers become a reality. Professor Martinis will explore the hurdles that researchers continue to face in hardware, fabrication, architecture and algorithms, and discuss how adapting established semiconductor technologies and systems engineering approaches could help unlock the next generation of high-quality qubits and scalable quantum systems.

Guest Speaker: Dr Fiona H. Panther

Title: Gravitational waves: Australia looks forward

Abstract: In the decade since the detection of GW150914, gravitational-wave astrophysics has moved beyond cataloguing individual transient events and into population science. Individual merging compact binaries tell us about individual systems, but answers to questions about how black holes form, where they merge, and how fast the Universe is expanding are encoded in the population as a whole. In this talk, I'll share some of the key take-aways from the 4th LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run and describe some recent developments in modelling binary black hole formation beyond binary stellar evolution that are being made at UWA. Finally, we will look closely at the science case for a gravitational-wave detector in Australia and the opportunities that this presents for a new wave of multimessenger astronomy (and physics) beyond transient detection.

Public Lecture - Dr Jessie Christiansen (7 Dec 2026)

Mon, 07 Dec 2026 07:30:00 GMT

Public Lecture: Jessie Christensen

Chief Scientist of the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute at Caltech/IPAC

For thousands of years, we’ve wondered if the Earth is unique, or if there are other Earths out there to find. In just the last 30 years, we’ve progressed from merely wondering if planets exist around other stars to knowing that almost every star we see has planets. Ambitious planet searches have been probing further and further, finding planetary systems of an incredible – and incredibly surprising! – variety. However, we have yet to discover another planet that might be like Earth – a rocky planet orbiting just the right distance from a Sun-like star to have liquid water on its surface. NASA has an audacious new plan for a next-generation flagship telescope that will directly image Earth-like planets around nearby stars, but it will take all of our ingenuity and technical prowess to achieve this feat. Dr Christiansen will walk you through the past, present, and future of our hunt for Earth 2.0.

Public Lecture - Dr Derek Muller (10 Dec 2026)
