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?

🌌 Quantum technologies …in space?
🛰️ Nikolas Pomplun and his colleagues from the German Space Operations Center at @DLR are confident that quantum technologies will play a significant role in the operation of satellites in the future.
He explains how that can look like in our latest #QuickQuantumQuestions video.

🚀 Yesterday, the German Space Operations Center (GSOC) in Oberpfaffenhofen opened its doors as part of our "MQV-Einblicke" event series. During a lecture and a tour of the institute, visitors gained exciting insights into satellite operations and learned about the potential that GSOC scientists see in quantum technologies for space operations.

As co-founder of the start-up Peak Quantum, Leon Koch and his colleagues are developing an error-protected hardware architecture based on novel qubits, which is expected to reduce the number of physical qubits required by at least one order of magnitude.
In our latest #MQVinPersona portrait Leon tells us about the exciting progress of founding a deep-tech company.
