The year 2025 has been declared the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology by UNESCO, in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the first formulation of quantum mechanics. Celebrate these fascinating discoveries with us at the Quantum Weekend.
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of quantum physics, gain an insight into everyday research and discover the latest breakthroughs in quantum communication and cryptography that are shaping the technologies of the future.
The guided tours through the special exhibitions "Light and Matter" are a particular highlight. Visitors can also take part in interactive quantum experiments presented at various stands by MCQST, Munich Quantum Valley, PhotonLab, Projekt Quanten(t)räume and PushQuantum.
