Quantum Festival in Ulm: Experience the future on October 6th!

From October 6th to 12th, 2025, Ulm will be transformed into a center for quantum research and art. The quantum festival “quant.ulm.2025” promises to offer a unique combination of science, art and social dialogue. The birthplace of Albert Einstein not only lives up to its historical significance, but also to its claim to shed light on innovative future issues. Mayor Martin Ansbacher has taken over the patronage, and the event is organized by a number of well-known institutions, including the city of Ulm, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the German Physical Society (DPG), the University of Ulm and the Albert Einstein Discovery Center.

The festival aims to make research and art accessible to a broad public. Even people without specialist knowledge are warmly invited to take part in interactive formats and immerse themselves in the fascinating world of quantum technologies. Loud uni-ulm.de There will be numerous highlights on the program that will both impart knowledge and entertain.

Diverse program

On October 7th, the DLR will show how quantum technologies can be applied in aerospace in a special “Quantum & SpaceDay” from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Prof. Kai Bongs, head of the Institute for Quantum Technologies, will open the event. There will be presentations from experts explaining current applications of these technologies in space.

Interactive stations have been set up in the foyer of the town hall for families and students. The visitor-friendly formats include the QBus, which clearly demonstrates quantum technologies, and “Ask a Scientist,” where scientists give answers to questions. These formats are intended to make access to quantum physics playful and are tailored to the interests of younger and inquisitive visitors.
