IZTECH Quantum Days

As part of the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, IZTECH Quantum Community, İzmir Institute of Technology, and QTurkey, with the support of QuanTour, the German Physical Society (DPG), Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Stiftung, QLocked, and The Science Talk, are organizing the 2nd IZTECH Quantum Days.

Within this scope, the event will take place on April 17-18, 2025, at the İzmir Institute of Technology and will focus on current research and innovations in the field of quantum science and technology, bringing together leading academics and researchers.

Quantum Sciences & Technologies: Transforming Chemistry with Quantum, HPC, and AI

The promise of quantum is real, and we are beginning to see where this technology can have the greatest impact. Decades of research and development point to the tremendous impact quantum computing will have on the simulation of quantum systems, especially for chemistry and materials science. As the fidelity and scale of quantum machines improve, we will first see the scientific quantum advantage, solving classes of scientifically interesting and classically intractable problems. As we scale to quantum supercomputers, we will achieve industrial quantum advantage and solve the world’s most pressing challenges through quantum-enabled advances in chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science. Scaled quantum systems won’t exist in isolation but will operate alongside AI and classical supercomputing.

Come join Microsoft for a lecture and workshop to bring together High-Performance Computing, AI, and early quantum systems and learn how it can accelerate scientific discovery.

What the Quant?!

The special exhibition “What the Quant?!” at the Knowledge Museum of the University of Göttingen explores the formulation of quantum mechanics in 1925 and takes a look at the present day. The exhibition illustrates how scientists at the University of Göttingen worked together and presents their work in an international research context. It shows which financial, political and social circumstances made their scientific breakthrough possible and which technological developments were based on quantum theory.

Hands-on experiments on quantum physics illustrate that the way the world works at an atomic level is different from what we perceive and experience. The exhibition features examples where quantum technologies are currently in use. Games and theatre sequences developed by youths, as well as artworks, invite visitors to explore the world of quantum mechanics in the Forum Wissen.

European Researcher’s Night Slovakia

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!

What 2025 holds

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.

Quantum Physics and Chaos: Uncertainty as an Epistemological and Technological Imperative

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.

Chaos in Nature and Society: Mechanisms of Stability and Transformation

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 under the Big Sky: Introducing QCORE

The Montana Photonics & Quantum Alliance presents Quantum under the Big Sky: Introducing QCORE, a webinar featuring Montana State University’s QCORE. QCORE is a new research and technology development center designed to create the foundations for innovation and advocate for growing the quantum economy in Montana and the surrounding region. Currently, funded efforts are creating an applied quantum testbed that will underpin quantum networking, sensing, and computing capabilities and form the foundation for standards development.

Testbed capabilities build on existing programmatic strength in photonics research at Spectrum Lab and the quantum materials’ foundry MonArk to create synergistic capabilities and demonstrate successful pilot-scale quantum technology innovations and networked systems integration.

Join the Webinar to learn more about QCORE Programmatic Thrust Areas, Including:

  • Demonstrations of novel quantum technologies including quantum computing, sensors, and quantum networking;
  • quantum materials research;
  • cryogenics;
