Family Physics Night is an annual community outreach of the Texas Lutheran University Physics Department. It is a fun and interactive environment where students and adults of all ages can learn about physics. This year, the theme of the event is Quantum Physics, aligning with the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.

The International Student Workshop on Digital Creative Practice, centered on the theme of the quantum world, undertakes film art creation to establish an interdisciplinary platform for dialogue between science and the arts. The initiative aims to leverage cultural and artistic expression as a bridge to dismantle the barriers between quantum technology and the broader public, translating abstract scientific concepts into accessible, sensory-rich, and emotionally resonant artworks, thereby fostering greater public understanding of quantum science.

This workshop comprises three structured components. The first component features expert-led lectures designed to provide participating students with a systematic understanding of the theoretical foundations of quantum science. The second component involves on-site visits to locations closely aligned with the creative theme, enabling students to engage in observational learning and deepen their conceptual and experiential comprehension. The third component is a thematic creation phase, during which students will undertake artistic or academic projects based on prior knowledge, fostering the integration of theory and practice.

An evening of thought-provoking speakers and networking with the Commonwealth’s innovation community

Massachusetts has long been a global hub for life sciences and biotechnology—and that same spirit of innovation now extends across finance, healthcare, AI, and beyond. Today, quantum science and AI stand as the next frontier, with the power to transform industries and further strengthen the Commonwealth’s leadership on the world stage.

The state has already taken bold steps to accelerate these fields and ensure their impact reaches the industries where Massachusetts excels.

Please join Goodwin, Morgan Stanley, PwC, Qubit Pharmaceuticals, and IonQ as we come together to explore these opportunities and shape the future of innovation in the Commonwealth.

The Paris-Munich Quantum Workshop takes place in Paris, France, on December 8 and 9, 2025. The workshop brings together researchers from two quantum hubs, the Paris region and Munich.

The aim is to present the latest advances in quantum science and technology, strengthen existing collaborations and create new ones, and encourage the mobility of PhD students and postdocs between the two communities.

Scientific conferences, poster sessions, and laboratory visits are on the agenda, providing numerous occasions for convivial discussions.
