Canoeing on the Regen

This week, we went canoeing on the Regen river. We started at the Blaibach reservoir, which is located at kilometre 107, and paddled all the way to the Danube junction in Regensburg.

Spread over five days, we covered around 20 kilometres a day, totalling 107 kilometres, and spent the night in Cham, Roding, Nittenau and Ramspau (Regenstauf). We got the four-person canoe from Zankl and enjoyed four wonderful stays at the Hotel am Regenbogen, the Gasthof Hecht, the Campingplatz Nittenau and the Ramspauer Hof, respectively.

While it wasn’t exactly relaxing, being surrounded by nature and staying in nice places with good food at the end of the day made it a very enjoyable experience overall.

You can find some pictures and a map showing the route, places where we got or could have gotten off, and more below.

Quantum 2025

Today, I had the pleasure of attending the official opening of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology in Germany, hosted by the German Physical Society at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

For me, it was not only the beginning of the celebration of 100 years of quantum science, but also a return to the place where I started my physics studies back in 2001.

Apart from that, we are also working on a number of events and activities within the Munich Quantum Valley to celebrate the quantum anniversary. You can find our ever-growing program for the general public on our dedicated MQV Quantum 2025 website.

Here are some impressions from the event, which included a talk by Nobel Laureate Wolfgang Ketterle to set the stage for the year:
