"In its early years, quantum mechanics was known as Knabenphysik, German for “boys’ physics,” highlighting the youth of many of the physicists involved — and simultaneously assuming their gender. But women were working in the field all along..."

The latest AASWomen newsletter [1] includes a link to a review [2] of the book "Women in the History of Quantum Physics" edited by Patrick Charbonneau, Michelle Frank, Margriet van der Heijden and Daniela Monaldi.

Should be interesting to dig through the recent quantum history page [3] to see if the names are all there.

Have you ever heard of #qubits? These units of information are a fundamental concept in #QuantumScience – and the next entry in our #ScienceGlossary. As part of #QuantumYear2025, we're breaking down key terms, one step at a time: https://go.tum.de/239519

Breaking down complex terms – and making it understandable for everyone: that’s what we aim to do with our new #ScienceGlossary. In keeping with the #QuantumYear2025, let's explore the world of quantum together, starting with the term #Quantum: http://go.tum.de/895011

Celebrating #QuantumYear2025

The European Physical Society (EPS) has made our City, the City of Göttingen, an “EPS Historic Site” in recognition of its leading role in the development of quantum mechanics: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=7766

Visit the historic plaque at the #ForumWissen and find out how Göttingen researchers have worked together to make amazing discoveries: https://www.forum-wissen.de/en/sonderausstellungen/quantum-exhibition/

#IYQ International Year of Quantum Science and Technology #United Nations #UNESCO

Wir freuen uns sehr über die Ehrung von Göttingen als 77te "#EPS historic site" und insbesondere auch die reichlichen Erwähnungen von Mathematikern, wie #Hilbert, #Klein, #Courant, #Minkowski, #Gauß und Detlev Buchholz sowie dem Mathematischen Institut (und seinen Vorgängern) während der Verleihungszeremonie.

The City of Göttingen is now an EPS Historic Site!

In this "International Year of Quantum Science and Technology" 2025, the European Physical Society honours the City of Göttingen with the title "EPS Historic Site". Quantum mechanics was founded 100 years ago in Göttingen.

Earlier in tonight's ongoing live stream of the award ceremony (in English, on Youtube, link see below), the memorial plaque that will be on display in front of the Forum Wissen on Bürgerstraße has been revealed, with a QR Code that will point visitors to the "Quantum History Wall".
