I led the team from the University of Bristol for the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition in July 2011.
Our exhibit was called ‘Can you hear the shape of a graph?’. It demonstrated some of the key features of quantum graphs and inverse problems for the general audience.
Our dear team members from right to left: Nick Simm, Jasmin Meinecke, Ram Band, Ben Leadbetter, Peter Shadbolt, Andrew Poulton, George Adje, Oliver Sargent, Orestis Georgiou, Adam Sawicki, Yating Deng, Joanna Hutchinson and Lionel Kameni (standing behind). The members who do not appear here are Dane Comerford, Chris Joyner and Maxim Kirsebom.
Read more about the exhibit in the Royal Society Exhibition website, or have a look on our leaflets below:
- I am a quantum graph – how do I sound?
- Here is my sound – how do I look?
- Counting vibrations – puzzling patterns (and its background)
- A fact sheet with some more historical and mathematical details.
