Public Engagement
We are passionate about science communication and public engagement and aim to engage the public and sparking excitement for quantum science at all ages. We engage with the public at various scientific fairs, regularly organize events to inspire young students (Girls’ Day, Maustag), and actively support and collaborate with the students' lab PhotonLab. In the summer of 2024, the new "Light & Matter" exhibition in Deutsches Museum was launched, offering unique and hands-on insights into quantum optics and quantum phenomena.
