Under­stand­ing Quantum Technol­ogy – Leibinger Begegnung

This ‘Leibinger Begeg­nun­gen’ event will explore the funda­men­tals as well as the latest devel­op­ments in quantum technolo­gies. The event will discuss the oppor­tu­ni­ties and challenges, the history, and how societies deal with the challenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties presented by quantum technolo­gies today and in the future.

2025 is the Inter­na­tional Year of Quantum Science and Technol­ogy (IYQ2025), provid­ing a valuable oppor­tu­nity to discuss one of the most excit­ing and trans­for­ma­tive technolo­gies of our time. While quantum technolo­gies are opening up new possi­bil­i­ties in commu­ni­ca­tion, infor­ma­tion process­ing and measure­ment technol­ogy, they are also prompt­ing us to question their influ­ence on our under­stand­ing of physics and nature. Even 125 years after Planck intro­duced quantum theory, classi­cal physics still shapes our culture and society.
