Hi from Hannover!
Until Friday, we are at the Hannover Messe, giving you insights into the quantum computing ecosystem in Bavaria.
You can find us in hall 11, booth 25/5 as part of the joint quantum technologies stand – come by for a chat!
Unser eigenes Programm zum Girls'Day ist bereits ausgebucht, aber auch viele unserer Mitgliedsinstitute sind wieder mit spannenden Angeboten dabei und haben noch letzte Plätze zu vergeben!
❄️ Am Walther-Meißner-Institut können Mädchen für einen Tag in den Beruf der Quantenforscherin eintauchen und hautnah erleben, wie Quantencomputer entwickelt werden.

Following the highly successful quantum year 2025, the "MQV-Einblicke" event series entered its next round last week with the kick-off at TH Nürnberg – from now on with the adapted subtitle “Quantenwissenschaften vor Ort erleben” (Experience quantum science up close).
And that is exactly what interested visitors were invited to do again this time: Listening to exciting lectures and visiting various laboratories.
For Adelina Bärligea, quantum computing is the perfect intersection of her favorite subjects – maths, computer science, and physics. The MQV doctoral fellow is pursuing her doctorate in quantum algorithms at Uni Augsburg, following one central question: Are there quantum algorithms that really benefit us?
