The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics honors groundbreaking work on superconducting quantum circuits - a technology that is considered the foundation of modern quantum computers. But what is actually behind it?
In his lecture, Prof. Dr. Henry Schade will give a generally understandable insight into this excellent research. He will show how it is possible to make quantum effects visible in comparatively large technical systems and why these findings are relevant far beyond basic research.
The lecture is aimed at students, employees of the university, interested members of the public and anyone who is curious about current physics. No prior knowledge is required.
The lecture will be followed by an opportunity for questions and discussion.
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics goes to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis. They will be honored for their fundamental work on superconducting quantum circuits and quantum particles, which are considered a milestone on the way to superconducting quantum computers.
