The Quantum Effects Academy
Quantum Effects provided comprehensive information about quantum technologies and their use. Therefore, there was a programme specifically tailored to the needs of high school students, students as future users and teachers.
Registration for Quantum Effects 2026 will be possible soon.
Programme 2026
Programme for high school students
- experimenta on Quantum Effects

Experiments for students
From quantum jumps to double slits and quantum erasers: experiments in quantum physics for beginners and advanced students.
The team has a selection of exciting experiments on quantum effects.
experimenta brings knowledge to life. The team has selected some exciting experiments to go with Quantum Effects.

Please note: available in GERMAN only!
Experiments for students
The physics education research group at the University Stuttgart is running a „Schülerlabor – Spiel der Kräfte“. Here, high school students can get in contact with modern science. At Quantum Effects selected experiments will be presented that reach from first principles like interference to complex applications like a NV-based magnetometer that has been developed in a project “QOOOL Sensing”. Also you can test the quantum technology game QUANTista. All experiments are designed so that you can build your own experiment – QT hands on!
The team of the “Schülerlabor” as well as the collaboration partners of the different projects will be ready to answer your questions.
Planned experiments and phenomenae:
- interferometers,
- spectroscopy,
- fluorescence (QOOOL Kit Fluoro),
- magnetic field measurements (QOOOL Kit Magneto),
- sensing using quantum sensors,
- quantum cryptography (BB84-protocol),
- single photon experiments (2QA).
- 6 and 7 October, mornings or afternoons
- Years 10 to 13
- Maximum of 30 pupils per session
- Booth: still open
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: 06 and 07 October, in the mornings or afternoons.
- Max. 12 students per date
- Booth: noch offen
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!
- 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 7, 2026!
You can expect inspiring short presentations by young experts and the opportunity for personal exchange:
Programme:
11:00 am: Kick-off with presentations and sessions / Venue: tba (60–90 minutes)
Welcome and introduction
Starting a business
Pitches from start-ups and companies
13:00: Guided tours: three separate tours, each lasting 45–60 minutes, covering Quantum Effects, EFX and VISON – staggered times / Key themes of the exhibitions will be highlighted during the tour.
16:00: Networking event – Venue: tba – for Quantum Effects and other students interested in quantum technologies (EFX and Vision) – get-together / exchange with academia, politics and industry on future technologies
Optional: 7.00 pm: Gründerwasen – party and networking
We cannot yet say exactly who will be speaking. In any case, as a first step, we need a webpage to link to so that people can get a general idea of what to expect.
The event is primarily aimed at university professors who wish to take part in the programme with their students as part of an excursion. Of course, individual students are also welcome to register. A registration form will follow later, but I still need to consult with the data protection officer first. I will get back to you separately regarding the registration form.
Networking area of the Gamechanger Area, Messe Stuttgart
October7, 2026, 11:00am - 4:30 pm.
Please note: available in GERMAN only!
