From 20 to 22 February 2019, Tuskegee University, Ala., USA, will host the 96th Annual Meeting of the Alabama Academy of Science—one of the state’s largest gatherings of scientists, researchers, teachers and students across all disciplines. The annual meeting will feature Nobel laureate in physics and OSA Honorary Member David J. Wineland, who will speak on the subject of “Superposition, entanglement and raising Schrödinger’s cat.” Wineland’s groundbreaking experimental methods that enable the measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems were honored with the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2012, which he shared with French physicist Serge Haroche.
