Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) promotes quantum science and quantum technologies in Bavaria with the primary goal of developing and operating competitive quantum computers. It connects research, industry, funders, and the public: Munich Quantum Valley promotes an efficient knowledge transfer from research to industry, establishes a network with international reach and provides educational offers for schools, universities and companies.
Munich Quantum Valley is supported by the Bavarian state government with funds from the Hightech Agenda Bayern.

Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) and Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST), together with other local partners, are jointly organizing the "Quantum Talents Symposium" on 24 and 25 November 2025 in Munich. Early-career quantum talents are invited to apply to be awarded an invitation as a Symposium finalist.
On 1 July, the Max Planck Society's Semiconductor Laboratory (HLL) invited guests to its new premises on the Garching research campus as part of the “MQV-Einblicke – 100 Jahre Quantenwissenschaften und woran wir heute forschen” event series. Jelena Nincovic, long-time head of the laboratory, took visitors on an exciting journey into the world of high-precision semiconductor technology and the work carried out in the cleanroom.
From June 24 to 27, 2025, World of Quantum, the world's largest trade fair for quantum technology, took place in Munich. Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) made a strong showing with its own stage program at its booth and an expanded ecosystem area together with member institutions, industry partners, and start-ups.
Together with the DLR Quantum Computing Initiative (QCI), Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) presented AFQC 2025: Impact! More interaction, concrete goals and results, and a real impact on the ecosystem to create a more effective, relevant forum for exchange – high expectations that the event was able to fulfill.
On Monday, June 2, 2025, PhotonLab hosted a lively and practical teacher training session on quantum physics and digital teaching materials available on Mebis and H5P. After a brief introduction to PhotonLab, participants were introduced to interactive quantum physics books. These were developed in collaboration with Munich Quantum Valley and were the main focus of the training.
This Thursday, the Chair of Experimental Solid State Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) opened its doors as part of the event series “MQV-Einblicke – 100 Jahre Quantenwissenschaften und woran wir heute forschen”. After an introductory lecture on two-dimensional crystals, the 30 visitors were given a lab tour to see the various stations for producing and researching these artificial crystals.
Last week, Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) invited industry partners and researchers to the second MQV Supplier Workshop in Garching to constructively connect representatives from industry and science within the MQV ecosystem and strengthen the quantum community.
MQV and its members join the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first development of quantum mechanics. All our public events related to this anniversary can be found here.
