60 Years of the Laser

13.05.2020

The 16th of May offers many reasons for celebration: the 60th anniversary of the laser, the international day of light, and the 25th jubilee of the famous idea of Ignacio Cirac and Peter Zoller on how to build a quantum computer with ion traps.

At lightning speed the MPQ PR department, the MCQST Office, and the PhotonLab have amidst the current situation come up with an alternative ways to celebrate this day online.

11th of May until 14th of May you can discover one of the MPQ divisions through live lab tours.

On Friday, 15th of May you can watch a live interview featuring Ignacio Cirac (Director of the Theory Group) and Flore Kunst (Postdoc researcher in the Theory Group). 

On Saturday, the 16th of May they have prepared a series of live public talks on the MPQ YouTube channel on fascinating topics offered by Immanuel Bloch, Ignacio Cirac, and Ioachim Pupeza. The day will start with an introduction to the Basics of Quantum Science offered by Silke Stähler Schöpf from the PhotonLab.
