EU Flagship to celebrate World Quantum Day 2024
Summary
From revolutionising communications to advancing medicine and materials science, quantum technologies have already had an impact on nearly every aspect of our lives. The ‘4.14’ date is derived by rounding the first digits of Planck’s constant, or 4.1356677×10−15 electron volt seconds, a product of energy and time. Senators Todd Young and Maggie Hassan came together to pass a resolution that would highlight the importance of the quantum mechanics that are part of the technologies used in everyday life, such as semiconductors in computers, atomic clocks that power GPS systems, and MRI imaging. This week will be a varied programme ranging from lectures to symposia and invite you to take part in events such as the big Science Watch Party on World Quantum Day. Exchange is possible at the respective stands with: @AIT, @FH Technikum Wien, @Infineon, @Joanneum Research, @qtlabs, @RECENDT, @SAL, @University of Vienna and @Blueprint Academy!
