100 Years of Quantum Mechanics – Open Celebration

Join us for a special celebration marking the centennial of quantum mechanics, where we invite everyone – from curious students to seasoned enthusiasts – to explore the fascinating world of quantum science that has transformed our understanding of reality.

Event Program

11:00 – 12:00: Popular lecture on fascinating quantum physics concepts by Prof. Paweł Kurzyński, specially designed for young audiences and anyone curious about the quantum world.

12:00 – 14:00: Interactive exhibition featuring pioneering scientific articles from nearly a century ago, alongside hands-on demonstrations of quantum phenomena, including:

  • Superconductor levitation in magnetic fields
  • Virtual reality experiences where you can:
  • Build your own quantum computer and explore quantum entanglement
  • Conduct simulated quantum optics experiments
  • Exhibition of quantum-related projects prepared by student scientific clubs and students from the Faculty

14:00 – 15:00: Lecture on the fascinating development of quantum technology and theory by Prof. Adam Miranowicz and Prof. Antoni Wójcik, aimed at adult audiences interested in deeper insights.

Why Attend?

This celebration embodies the spirit of the International Year of Quantum Science & Technology – making quantum knowledge accessible to all. No prior physics knowledge is required. Whether you’re a student discovering quantum mechanics for the first time, a teacher seeking inspiration, or simply someone curious about the science that powers our modern world, this event offers pathways for everyone to engage with quantum science at their own level.

See how current students and scientific clubs are exploring quantum phenomena through their innovative projects, experience historical breakthroughs through original documents, and interact with cutting-edge demonstrations. Our event brings together the past, present, and future of quantum science in one engaging celebration.

Our demonstrations and lectures aim to share the joy and wonder that quantum science brings to those who study it, while honestly presenting both the established knowledge and the mysteries that remain. Come experience the beauty and power of quantum mechanics through engaging presentations, historical artifacts, and cutting-edge demonstrations.
