MINTdigital Online Lecture Series: The Fascination of the Quantum World

Dive into the revolutionary world of quantum physics! Rarely have new discoveries so fundamentally transformed our understanding of the world, of energy, and of matter. How does it differ from classical physics? How do neutrinos oscillate? How does a quantum computer work? And what makes novel quantum materials so special? Over the course of five exciting sessions, scientists from TU Dresden will guide you through the fascinating world of quantum physics. Learn how quantum phenomena don’t just exist in theory—they’re already being applied in practice!

The event is interactive: You can join the discussion live, talk to researchers, and exchange ideas with students from various departments about everyday life as a student.
