"Discussions, music and hands-on activities for young and old in the center of Munich" promises the Open Day of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BAdW). On 4 May from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Academy will open its doors to anyone interested in science and research at the Residenz in Munich.
At the Munich Quantum Valley booth, visitors can find out what exactly quantum computers are and how they could be used in the future. The quantum eraser experiment offers a tangible insight into the basics of quantum physics. If you like, you can have a badge made as a souvenir.
The Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) and the Walther Meißner Institute (WMI), both affiliated institutes of the BAdW, will also be present with information stands and provide insights into the world of supercomputing and low-temperature physics – and also explain what each of these has to do with quantum computers.
Prof. Stefan Filipp, MQV member and director at the WMI, will answer the exciting question "Why can quantum computing solve unsolvable problems?" in a lecture [in German].
More information about the program can be found on the website of the BAdW.
