Researchers from TU Braunschweig and Leipzig University have developed an interactive exhibit for the Phaeno Science Museum in Wolfsburg, designed to make quantum technologies more accessible to the general public. The prototype will be unveiled for the first time in Wolfsburg on 14 April to mark World Quantum Day. Developed through the collaboration of Professors Rainer Müller from TU Braunschweig and Nabeel Aslam from Leipzig University (formerly TU Braunschweig), the exhibit is part of the project Quantum Technologies in Museums: Hands-On Diamond Quantum Sensors (DiQuaMus). It is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under its “Quantum aktiv” outreach and innovation programme. It is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
In addition to the exhibition at the Phaeno, they will also be used in the QuantumFrontiers MasterClasses in future. Professor Rainer Müller: "We already bring quantum physics into schools with our master classes. With the new exhibit at Phaeno, second-generation quantum technologies can now be experienced by the general public."
