Prof. Dr. Özgür Müstecaplıoğlu, from the Koç University College of Sciences, Department of Physics, will deliver a public lecture titled “How Quantum is Transforming Our Modern Lives.” In celebration of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, declared by the United Nations and coordinated globally by UNESCO, this talk will guide the audience from the often-overlooked quantum technologies that already shape our daily lives—such as barcode scanners, MRI machines, and smartphones—to today’s exciting frontier: the second quantum revolution, promising transformative advances in quantum computing, cryptography, and sensing.

The event is open to all science enthusiasts who enjoy learning, exploring, and discovering. Koç University organizes it under the “Science for Everyone” initiative of the Higher Education Council of Türkiye. We gratefully acknowledge the support of Sarıyer Municipality for providing the historic Rıfat Ilgaz Cultural Center as the venue.
