„Was zum Quant?!“ Die Ausstellung zum Quantenjahr 2025
In the organizer's words:
What are quanta actually? You don't know the answer? You're not alone - even though the physics of quantum mechanics is virtually omnipresent: it can be found in lasers, solar cells and in every supermarket checkout, sci-fi films and visions of future technologies such as quantum computers. The special exhibition at Göttingen University's Knowledge Museum traces the development of quantum mechanics 100 years ago and looks back to the present day.
What about the quantum?
Quantum mechanics is the most commercially successful physical theory of all time. And its birthplace is Göttingen. A mathematical description of the quantum phenomena that turned the world view of physics upside down was first found there 100 years ago.
The exhibition in the Forum Wissen illustrates how scientists at the University of Göttingen worked together and embeds their work in international research contexts. It shows which financial, political and social circumstances made their scientific breakthrough possible and which technological developments were based on quantum theory.
Hands-on experiments on quantum physics illustrate that the world works differently at an atomic level than we perceive and experience it ourselves. Examples show where quantum technologies are currently in use. Playful and theatrical contributions developed by young people as well as artistic exhibition units invite visitors to explore the world of quantum mechanics in the Forum Wissen.
The German Physical Society (Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft e.V.) is the patron of the exhibition.
