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.

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.

On 29 April, the two FAU researchers Florian Marquardt and Christopher Eichler gave two lectures as part of the event series "MQV-Einblicke – 100 Jahre Quantenwissenschaften und woran wir heute forschen" to give the numerous visitors exciting insights into the world of quantum computing. Those who managed to get a place on the lab tour then had the opportunity to learn more about the development, fabrication and operation of superconducting quantum chips.

What is it like to work as a computer scientist, physicist or mathematician in a computer center and to research supercomputers and quantum computers? On 3 April 2025, eight students aged 14 to 17 took the opportunity on Girls'Day to gain an insight into this career field and took part in the Munich Quantum Valley program, which this year took place in cooperation with and at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre.

This week, the first regular event in the series “MQV Einblicke – 100 Jahre Quantenwissenschaften und woran wir heute forschen” took place at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ). During an introductory lecture and subsequent tour of the quantum optical laboratories at MPQ, the extremely interested audience gained insights into quantum simulation and quantum computing with neutral atoms.

On Wednesday, Prof Rainer Blatt opened the series of events "MQV Einblicke – 100 Jahre Quantenwissenschaften und woran wir heute forschen" in the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025 with his lecture "100 Jahre Quantenphysik – und das ist erst der Anfang" in the packed plenary hall of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

Experience cutting-edge research in quantum technology! In the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025, the member institutes of Munich Quantum Valley open their doors and provide insights into their research through lectures and laboratory tours.
