Welcome to Munich Quantum Valley

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.

This Monday, the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Microsystems and Solid State Technologies EMFT invited guests to attend our event series “MQV-Einblicke – 100 Jahre Quantenwissenschaften und woran wir heute forschen.” After two introductory presentations, visitors had the opportunity to marvel at the exciting technologies up close in the laboratory.

To mark the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025, Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) organized a quantum special together with Pint of Science. On three evenings, everyone interested was invited to listen to exciting talks on quantum technologies in a relaxed pub atmosphere at the Haderner Bräustüberl.

MQV member Johannes Zeiher has accepted a tenure-track W2 professorship at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. His chair in Artificial Quantum Matter is part of the Faculty of Physics’ Quantum Optics group. At LMU, Zeiher will expand the work of his independent research group, originally established at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ), while continuing to collaborate closely with the institute.

MQV member Immanuel Bloch, a pioneer in quantum research, has been admitted to the American National Academy of Sciences as an international member.
