After roughly 100 years of the development and application of quantum mechanics, it is time to explore the impact of the early seminal contributions by John von Neumann on current research, appreciate his broad impact on physics, and outline the relation of his work in other fields with physics.
Seminar on the potential and limitations of quantum machine learning followed by a panel discussion on Quantum computing enablement and driving quantum computing research at Wits and in South Africa.
European Researcher’s Night is the biggest science festival in Slovakia, and it brings news from the world of research and innovation in an inspiring and unique way.
The festival is traditionally held on the last Friday of September in Bratislava, Košice, Banská Bystrica, Žilina, Poprad, and other accompanying locations. The day-long program (9 am to 11 pm) offers a series of scientific presentations, discussions, experiments, workshops, technological attractions and so much more!
The scientific community is increasingly confronting the limitations of traditional predictive models and linear approaches in analyzing complex systems. Chaos, once understood as a synonym for disorder, is now seen as an inherent property of dynamic processes, where sensitivity to initial conditions and nonlinearity determine their evolution. Instead of perceiving uncertainty as an obstacle, we can interpret it as a catalyst for scientific discoveries and technological innovations.
Last year’s theme of complexity highlighted the interdisciplinary connections in research. This year, as part of the Night of Science, we will explore chaos as a fundamental mechanism of adaptation, evolution, and transformation in various systems. The event will open discussions on how scientific disciplines approach uncertainty and nonlinearity and what paradigmatic shifts these phenomena imply.
At the quantum level, uncertainty is a fundamental property of systems. Quantum fluctuations, state superposition, and wave function collapse challenge classical notions of predictability and deterministic understanding of reality. Quantum physics thus provides a natural link between chaotic phenomena and the emergence of new orders, where uncertainty becomes a source of technological innovations.
The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025 offers a unique opportunity to explore the relationship between chaotic processes and quantum mechanics. Quantum algorithms utilize chaotic behavior to solve nonlinear problems, while quantum communication protocols introduce new standards of security and efficiency in information transmission.
In natural systems, chaos does not merely represent entropy but also stabilization and emergent organization. From climate processes and ecosystem interactions to neural networks and evolutionary mechanisms – nonlinear dynamics lead to the formation of self-organizing structures and adaptive strategies.
Similar principles apply to social and technological systems. Financial markets, digital networks, and information ecosystems exhibit chaotic behavioral patterns, where even minimal perturbations significantly influence global outcomes. This presents challenges for modeling, regulating, and managing complex systems.
Night of Science 2025 will offer an interdisciplinary perspective on the connection between chaos, quantum technologies, natural phenomena, and social dynamics. We will explore how uncertainty shapes innovation processes and what epistemological and technological implications we can extrapolate for a better future. Chaos is not just a challenge – it represents a potential key to new scientific paradigm shifts.
Quantum computing promises great potential for companies in almost all sectors thanks to its speed and precision advantages. The combination with machine learning methods also opens up new possibilities. How do quantum computers work, what principles are their programming based on, and why does the so-called “quantum advantage” promise a disruptive change in the IT industry? In a 3-day course, the quantum team of the Fraunhofer IAO trains the experts of tomorrow.
The free training program provides comprehensive knowledge in the field of quantum computing, from basics to application. The course aims at a general understanding of quantum technology and builds up the necessary key skills for industrial application. Four modules will teach you how to assess the key technology of quantum computing, how to deal with it and how to apply it in a targeted manner: Basics, Hardware, Algorithms, and Application.
We invite participants to join us in learning about the phenomena of the quantum world, the differences between today’s system architectures, and the basics of programming them. From the principles of quantum mechanics, we take the exciting path to their industrial application and work on a wide variety of use cases, for example, in the fields of quantum chemistry, finance, optimization, or quantum machine learning.
The International Conference on Quantum Computing 2025 (ICoQC2025) will present the state of the art in quantum computing research from different perspectives: significant progress and novelties on the hardware, strategies and architectures for protecting quantum information, quantum algorithms themselves, and related enabling technologies. It is a follow-up on ICoQC 2018 with a similar program, composed of invited talks, contributed talks and poster sessions.
The conference will be held from May 12 to 16, 2025 in Paris.
The event will present quantum science and technology research by invited speakers during the virtual session and by early-career scientists during the poster session. It will aim at increasing public awareness about quantum science and its applications, and also the importance of international and interdisciplinary cooperation among researchers and institutions in quantum science and technology.

The Quantum Biology School is organized by Pioneer Science, an independent, non-profit initiative created by the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR) to intensify disruptive scientific discovery in Brazil.
The school will inspire a new generation of researchers to explore how quantum processes influence biological phenomena, from enzyme function to photosynthesis. The program fosters research, trains specialists, and promotes collaborations in this emerging field.
Taught in Portuguese, the school features renowned professors Clarice Aiello, Marcelo Terra Cunha, Marucia Chacur, Luiz Davidovich, and Pedro Pascutti.
Participants will also engage in poster sessions and attend international seminars with experts like Paul Davies (Arizona State University), Peter Hore (University of Oxford), and Fabrisia Ambrosio (Harvard Medical School).
With a strong focus on theory, experimentation, and computational simulations, the school is a key step in positioning Brazil at the forefront of this revolutionary field.
