The first telescopes were built more than 400 years ago, and telescopes are still used by astrophysicists to study the cosmos. But a lot has changed in science since the time of Galileo and Kepler. Now researchers at the University of Sheffield are using cutting-edge quantum physics to find ways of mapping the Universe in more detail than ever before.

I worked with quantum physicists Prof Pieter Kok and Dr Zixin Huang on this video all about the history of telescopes, and what quantum physics could improve in the future.
