100 years ago Max Planck presented his quantum hypothesis and laid the foundations for modern physics. Fitting timely to the recent launch of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technologies by UNESCO, the International Quantum Forum (IQF) took place in Munich on January 30th until 31st hosted by the Quantum Social Lab and TUM Think Tank (https://lnkd.in/dVUkXmAh).
In our joint QuantWorld Project funded by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt we aim to make quantum mechanics accessible and ignite public excitement by showcasing the transformative potential of this revolutionary field.
We were diving into a groundbreaking fusion of quantum science and art, featuring:
🎭 Poetry slams & performances
🤝 Hands-on workshops
🎨 Interactive installations
Jakob Gaubatz and Miriam Kirst from our group presented an installation featuring a tabletop MRI (Pure Devices GmbH) to discover and appreciate the effects of nuclear spin-spin interactions in a nuclear magnetic resonance experiment. 🧲 🧪
Also, we gave an overview about our Hashtag#QuE_MRT project in which quantum technologies of the second generation will soon be applied for patients‘ benefits in the clinic: utilising hyperpolarization created by parahydrogen enables metabolic imaging by MRI.
A special thanks to Fabienne Marco, Prof. Urs Gasser and the entire team from TUM Think Tank for leading us through this series of mindblowing events during the IQF.
💡 Did you ever wonder how a qubit rotation can modulate audio signals using the Bloch sphere as a 3D synth controller? During the IQF you could find out (https://lnkd.in/dFuyZxKV). 🎸
