Time for another Open Day at the research campus in Garching (‘Forschungscampus Garching’). Once again, around 40 research institutes and companies on the campus will open their doors on 3 October from 10 am to 5 pm and once again I am taking care of the website of the event: https://forschungscampus-garching.de/.

Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) will be present with a booth at the Walther Meißner Institute (WMI) and Build Your Own Particle Detector (BYOPD) will be present at the ORIGINS booth .. along with lots of other activities, exhibits, projects to explore.

Talking Quantum Tech

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.

IEEE Quantum Week in Albuquerque

Last week, I was at the 2025 IEEE Quantum Week in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to once again represent Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) with a special focus on its quantum-software activities and the Munich Quantum Software Stack (MQSS).

I also had the opportunity to fly on an Airbus A380 for the first time. Unfortunately, I missed my connecting flight on the way back, so I had to spend an extra night near Denver and wait another two days for my checked luggage to arrive.

What a week – AFQC, WoQ, Laurent and more

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.
