For decades, quantum scientists have been questioning and transforming our understanding of the universe. Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Edward Schrödinger, Max Planck are all famed in history and known to a large public. Fast forward to today, and quantum science still puzzles, because it breaks almost every rule of how we think our universe functions and how we experience it.
At the University of Luxembourg, researchers in cybersecurity, information technology, material science, and physics explore new possibilities with quantum research. This year, Uni.lu will exhibit its world-class quantum science via a variety of activities, to help spark curiosity in, and progress our understanding of quantum-related topics.
Quantum activities
On 12 June, Uni.lu, in partnership with the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce launches a series of five Quantum breakfasts, open to the public and free of charge. This breakfast series is designed for business and industry stakeholders in the tech, finance, space, and biotech sectors, to learn about the latest scientific developments in quantum technology and potential applications in industry.
More broadly, Uni.lu will contribute to several scientific, educational and outreach activities related to quantum throughout 2025:
- The SCynergy conference – addressing synergies between high-performance computing, AI and quantum technologies;
- The interdisciplinary Physics for Future Symposium – targeting students, teachers and experts, including Physics Nobel Prize winner William D. Phillips.
Quantum experts
A team of experts in physics, material sciences, informatics and cybersecurity have made the University of Luxembourg their scientific home, pushing the boundaries of quantum science and training the next generation of quantum engineers. As thought leaders, Uni.lu experts share insights with students, fellow researchers, scientists, and the wider public.
Quantum research
Scientists at Uni.lu develop quantum technology by studying how atoms work, creating systems that dramatically improve computing, communications, and measurement. Our scientists and engineers turn quantum principles into practical applications that improve daily life in medicine, cybersecurity, and environmental sciences.
Researchers aspiring to step out of their comfort zone can initiate interdisciplinary, out-of-the box projects, in which quantum technologies meet disciplines like social sciences, biomedicine, and chemistry. The University’s Institute for Advanced Studies can support such ambitious projects.
