Quantum year 2025: Braunschweig and Hanover celebrate with spectacular events!
On June 15, 2025, the University of Hanover will present an event on quantum research as part of the International Quantum Year.
Quantum year 2025: Braunschweig and Hanover celebrate with spectacular events!
In 2025, the world of science will celebrate the International Year of Quantum Physics. The United Nations has declared this year to mark the centenary of quantum mechanics, which began in 1925. This decision aims to recognize the achievements and influence of quantum science on modern technologies. Various events related to the topic will take place in Germany, organized by the German Physical Society, which will coordinate the activities.
An outstanding event as part of the Quantum Year is the concert and lecture series “Time”, which was initiated by the Cluster of Excellence QuantumFrontiers at Leibniz University Hannover. In collaboration with the Young Chamber Choir Braunschweig, the series will deal with the scientific and social engagement with time. uni-hannover.de reports that the program combines short popular science lectures on topics such as optical clocks and the limits of physics with a cappella pieces.
Concert and lecture series “Time”
The opening events of the series will take place in Braunschweig on June 13th and in Göttingen on June 14th, before ending on June 15th in the Audimax of the Leibniz University Hannover, Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover. The scientific introductions are given by well-known researchers, including Dr. Celeste Torkzaban, Prof. Andrey Surzhykov and Dr. Johannes Tidau, taken over. Admission to these events is free and further information can be found on the Cluster of Excellence website.
An important element of the quantum year is also the technologies based on the principles of quantum mechanics. weltderphysik.de highlights that everyday applications such as smartphones, barcode scanners and magnetic resonance imaging depend on these scientific principles. Quantum mechanics has already significantly changed everyday life through technologies such as transistors and lasers.
Outlook for the quantum year 2025
The opening of the quantum year will take place on January 14, 2025 with a kick-off event at which quantum physicist Prof. Dr. Tommaso Calarco from the Research Center Jülich will discuss. fz-juelich.de also mentions the plans to integrate quantum computers into the high-performance computing environment of the Jülich Supercomputing Center. The research center is working on new quantum technologies that, for example, should enable the manipulation of individual atoms, electrons or photons. These advances could lead to future developments not only increasing computing power, but also enabling tap-proof communication and more precise measurement methods in sensor technology.
With the motto “Quantum2025 – 100 years are just the beginning…”, 2025 will not only look at the past of quantum physics, but also provide an outlook on a future world that will be characterized by quantum mechanical innovations.
