Also in 2026, we once again had a pair of blue tits move in to our balcony bird house. Last week, two little birds finally made it all the way through, left the house and here’s a time-lapse of this year’s season.

This week, I had the great pleasure to speak about the history, prospects and status of quantum technology and about Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) at the annual meeting of the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA), the DPMAnutzerforum as well as at one of the local Lions Clubs in Munich.
Even within the Year of Quantum Science and Technology, which is packed with public engagement (find them here) and scientific events related to quantum science, this week was special.
After weeks and months of preparation and coordination, the World of QUANTUM finally took place at Messe München from Tuesday to Friday (link to our wrap-up piece will follow). Additionally, Munich Quantum Valley hosted this year’s AFQC on Monday, organised jointly with the DLR Quantum Computing Initiative (link to our wrap-up piece will follow).
Apart from these major events and efforts, there were a few more smaller events, parties and meet-ups to attend this week, all crowned by a little-big yet also exhausting treat on Friday night: Laurent Garnier at the Blitz Club.
Also in 2025, we had a pair of blue tits move in to our balcony bird house. Two days ago, the only little fella to make it all the way through, left the house and here’s a time-lapse of the whole season.
