Enthusiasm for quantum physics unites across national borders! PhotonLab, the student laboratory at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ), in which Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) is also involved, therefore also offers its exciting experiments program to international visitors from all over the world. An overview on the occasion of today's World Quantum Day.

Munich Quantum Valley (MQV), in collaboration with the PhotonLab student laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ), has developed an innovative learning resource for the classroom. The interactive qubit- and quantum books are now available to all Bavarian teachers as an Mebis-TeachShare course. These courses facilitate the integration of quantum physics and quantum technologies into the classroom and cover key content in the bavarian curriculum.

MQV members are co-organizing this year's summer school on on "Quantum Computing – Status and Prospects" of the Arnold Sommerfeld Center for Theoretical Physics at LMU Munich, 6–10 October 2025.

For 13 years, the PhotonLab, the student laboratory at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, has been welcoming everyone who wants to learn about lasers, light and quantum physics. As of this Friday, a total of 22,222 students have visited the PhotonLab to experiment together.

MQV is a partner in the joint project Quanten(t)räume – a play of German word quantum spaces and quatum dreams – funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Starting next Tuesday, the project will offer regular opportunities to find out about the state of research in the field of quantum technologies, ask questions to the experts and contribute your own ideas for useful applications.

The Munich Quantum Valley Doctoral Fellowship Program is now open for a start in 2023. The program aims to recruit exceptional students to support them in their early-career progress. The call for applications just started and is open until 15 January 2023.

The 2023 Quantum Future Academy will be held as a bi-national event! For the first time, students from Israel and Germany will be attending two one-week academies about quantum technologies. The first part will take place in Israel, 19–26 February 2023, while the second part will be in Germany, 3–10 September 2023.
