The Quantum Effects Academy
Programme 2025
Quantum Effects provides comprehensive information about quantum technologies and their use. Therefore, there is a programme specifically tailored to the needs of high school students, students as future users and teachers.
Registration for the offers will be possible soon.

Experiments for students
How to eavesdrop on space with modern quantum physics – The hunt for gravitational waves with the Michelson interferometer
Self-construction of a Michelson interferometer from scratch, all components are self-assembled and adjusted; short introduction + bridge to quantum physics (including gravitational wave astronomy) as a short lecture within the 60-90min timeslot.
Please note: available in GERMAN only!
The quantum world is fascinating - and challenges many of our everyday ideas. What does 'particle' or 'wave' mean? How can an observation affect the result of a measurement? Quantum physics has its own rules, which often contradict our intuition.
Many quantum experiments require special conditions, such as low temperatures or high vacuum, and are therefore only partially accessible. The TECHNOSEUM makes the central phenomena of quantum physics tangible: with augmented reality experiment tables, we bring selected concepts directly to the quantum effects - vividly, interactively and directly experienceable.
- Augmented reality experiments on the basics of quantum physics
- Class 10 to 13
- Duration: approx. 60 minutes
- 4 dates per day: 07 and 08 October, in the mornings or afternoons.
- Max. 12 students per date
Please note: available in GERMAN only!
Quantum cryptography - the ultimate protection for your data
Every day we send passwords, messages and bank details - many of them highly sensitive - back and forth over the internet. Conventional encryption methods are still secure, but could be cracked by quantum computers in the future. The workshop, organised by the Collaborative Research Centre SFB 1225 ISOQUANT, will focus on quantum cryptography: an encryption method that is absolutely unbreakable thanks to the laws of quantum physics.
In this workshop you will get a practical insight into the basics of quantum physics and learn how this technology could revolutionise digital security in the future.
- 07 and 08 October, in the mornings or afternoons
- Class 10-13
- Max. number of participants: 10
- Duration: 60 min
Please note: available in GERMAN only!
Programme for students
If you are a scientist or student in the field of physics or quantum technologies, we will give you the stage to present your scientific work!
- Take part in the poster competition and present your research projects to the expo audience.
- Register today for Science Slam „Science meets Creativity“.
- We would like to talk to you about job profiles in quantum technologies in the „Quantum as a Profession“ workshops.
Are you studying physics, computer science or a related course with a focus on quantum technologies?
Then join the new Young Talents exchange event at Quantum Effects on October 8, 2025!
You can expect inspiring short presentations by young experts and the opportunity for personal exchange:
- Andre Salzinger (Photonics BW): Potentials of quantum technology 2.0
- Carina Kanitz (DLR): Why more people should understand quantum
- From doctorate to start-up? Experience reports from start-up practice
Tis event is aimed specifically at students who want to find out more about career prospects, research and innovation in quantum technologies. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to ask questions, have discussions and networking with Master's students, doctoral candidates and founders.
Networking area of the Gamechanger Area, Messe Stuttgart
October 8, 2025, 10:45-11:45 a.m.
Please note: available in GERMAN only!
