Quantum technologies are considered a technological revolution and promise to significantly change the future. The technology is still at the research stage, but used correctly there is the potential to establish new markets or address existing markets with improved applications. According to the global scientific community, quantum technologies are considered “the core future technology of the 21st century.” Similarly, the German government speaks of “key technologies.” They are said to be able to initiate a paradigm shift in a wide range of industries. Such hopes are based on three areas in particular: sensor technology, computing and communications.

Quantum physics is difficult to put into words, even for experts, and seemingly incomprehensible to the layperson. But it’s worth understanding the complex rules of quantum mechanics on which these technologies are based.

In his lecture, quantum physicist Markus Krutzik will introduce the basics of these future technologies and explain what is revolutionary about quantum communication, sensing and computing, as well as the areas of application. Following the lecture, Markus Krutzik will be available to answer questions from the audience.
