Getting an Open Day online

4 August 2024Computers and IT, Garching, Munich Quantum Valley, Outreach, World Wide WebSascha

Partly in my spare time and partly in my working time, I designed and coded the website for this year’s Open Day in Garching.

I had already built the site for last year’s event, but due to the much larger number of participating institutes, chairs and companies, this time I added a system to filter all the activities on campus based on language, target audience, formats and tags.

The site uses WordPress along with some modifications to both the theme and the code.
As part of our support for the event, the MQV team has been collecting and filling in all the information and content for all the activities. The design elements for the Open Day were provided by mattweis and I adopted them up for the website design.

There is still a lot of content to be added, but you can already get an idea of what to expect from the Open Day, which will take place on 3 October 2024 from 10am to 5pm.

MQV will be present with a booth and presentations at the LRZ: Leibniz Supercomputing Centre. Feel free to pass by to learn about MQV and the website ;)

In addition Build Your Own Particle Detector will be present, along with the Belle II and ATLAS Experiment, at the booth of the cluster of excellence ORIGINS.

Building a quantum future in Lindau

5 July 2024Lindau, Munich Quantum Valley, Outreach, Quantum ScienceSascha

This Thursday I had the pleasure of attending the Bavarian Evening at the 73rd edition of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. Together with Research in Bavaria, we had a Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) booth and a lot of interesting and sometimes deep discussions about quantum computing and what we are doing in MQV, both in terms of research and industry collaborations.

We also had a first and successful large-scale presentation of a quantum version of the Bavarian card game Schafkopf, called QuantenSchaftkopf.
Ludwig Nützel from FAU came up with the idea, we put together a first visual identity and designed a board, and soon it will be playable online at quantenschafkopf.de.

At the Bavarian State Representation in Berlin

18 May 2024Berlin, Munich Quantum Valley, Outreach, Physics, Quantum ScienceSascha

This week, I made an unfortunately very short trip to Berlin to participate in an event at the Bavarian State Representation in Berlin to represent Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) as an essential part of the Hightech Agenda Bavaria.

Find out more about the event on the MQV website or the StMWK website [in German].

Open Day of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities

8 May 2024Munich, Munich Quantum Valley, Outreach, Physics, Quantum ScienceSascha

On 4 May, I took part in the Open Day of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, co-hosting the activities at the Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) booth I organised for the event.
Throughout the whole day, we gave insights into the work of MQV, showed experiments and exhibits, and provided visitors with quantum-inspired souvenirs.
