International Year of Quantum 2025: Our Contribution to School Education in Quantum Physics

In the international year of quantum science and technology the contribution of the German Physical Society (DPG) at the Federal Congress of the Deutscher Verein zur Förderung des mathematischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Unterrichts (German Association for the Promotion of School Education in Mathematics and Sciences, MNU) was dedicated to quantum physics. Our CZS Center QPhoton joined the event with analogue experiments on quantum physics contributed by the physics education groups of the universities of Jena and Stuttgart as part of DPG's representation in the conference's exhibition. MNU's federal congress is an annual event and one of the major regular meetings of teachers from all STEM disciplines in Germany with updates on new developments in teaching. From May 1 to May 4, 2025 approximately 800 teachers from all over Germany gathered at Ruhr University Bochum.
