Between waves and particles

Particles that simultaneously change their state despite vast distances between them? Electrons with the properties of both waves and particles? Quantum phenomena are often dramatically different from anything we can experience and imagine. The exhibition “Light and Matter” by the Cluster of Excellence MCQST aims to make them understandable for young people.
