Quantum Science for Every­one: IQST at the Final Evening of “Physik – Die Wissen schafft”

On Monday, July 7, the Depart­ment of Physics at the Univer­sity of Stutt­gart concluded its public lecture series “Physik – Die Wissen schafft” with a well-attended and engaging evening focused on quantum techno­lo­gies — proudly suppor­ted by IQST.

The event featured a public lecture by Prof. Dr. Stefanie Barz, Director of IQST and Professor at the Insti­tute for Functional Matter and Quantum Techno­lo­gies. In her talk, “Licht & Quanten: Von abhör­sicherer Kommunika­tion bis zum Quanten­com­puter”, she guided the audience through the fascin­at­ing poten­tial of quantum physics, from secure commu­nic­a­tion to the possib­il­it­ies of quantum computing.

Follow­ing the lecture, visit­ors gathered in the foyer of lecture hall 47.02 for a quantum-themed exhib­i­tion and informal get-together. At the IQST booth, members of our community presen­ted selec­ted highlights from current research and chatted with guests over pretzels and drinks. With over 170 registered parti­cipants and an enthu­si­astic atmosphere, the event marked a lively and memor­able close to this success­ful lecture series — and highlighted the growing public interest in quantum science.
