Centre researcher Jeremy Bourhill spoke to ABC Perth about the National Quantum & Dark Matter Road Trip that is travelling across remote and rural Australia in August 2023.

He also chats with host Nadia Mitsopolous about dark matter, and how we know it is there. He also discusses how quantum technologies can help in the search for dark matter.

Jeremy was asked about what could be behind the phonomena that lead researchers to believe in the existence of dark matter.

“There are more theories than you can poke a stick at,” he says, naming the leading theories that it is a particle, or that gravity is wrong.”

Why bother searching for dark matter?

“Answering fundamental questions in physics is so crucial to developing new technology.”
