📣 How do you communicate quantum technologies with the general public? 🎥 And why is there a camera team in the Rymax laboratory? 🔦 Let’s be honest. Exciting things are happening in the field of quantum technologies. There are fascinating projects, such as those by the DLR Quantencomputing-Initiative or Fraunhofer CML, and initial use cases from startups and major players like Lufthansa Industry Solutions or NXP Semiconductors and many more. 💡 However, often these remarkable developments only reach a fraction of the people who might be interested. That’s why, for the HQC kickoff (Universität Hamburg, Technische Universität Hamburg), we came up with something special. Instead of inviting media representatives to the event, we gave them an exclusive glimpse into the Rymax One laboratory. ⚛ Rymax is a complex quantum computer built by the University of Hamburg and many other stakeholders. Prof. Henning Moritz and Dr. Niclas Luick passionately explained what the computer can do and where the journey is heading. It was wonderful to see their eyes light up as they spoke. But the best part: They didn’t use language that’s only understood within their bubble—and that’s crucial for communicating science. ✍ We wanted to showcase something tangible in this highly theoretical field and tell a compelling story that reaches people beyond our ecosystem, making the technology more accessible. 👁 We see it as an official location initiative as a mission to explain developments in the ecosystem in an understandable way for everyone. For this, concepts and access are needed, and as part of Artificial Intelligence Center Hamburg (ARIC), we notice how great the public’s interest in technology topics is. Our public tours of the AI showroom, for example, are always fully booked within a very short time. 📻 📺 📖 Today, we can say it worked. Many media outlets participated in the event and reported on it. We’re noticing that the scientific community and the Hamburg ecosystem are getting better at communicating outwardly, and that’s something we’re very pleased about. So, no need to fear the negatively connotated word ‘mainstream.’ Here’s a small selection of coverage ⬇ SAT1 https://lnkd.in/eFi2ZHpg NDR https://lnkd.in/efjcR5C3 Hamburg Business https://lnkd.in/em_TsXTp Hamburg Startups https://lnkd.in/dtSF-E6H EU https://lnkd.in/eYT6ERA3 Hamburger Abendblatt https://lnkd.in/ea4VGP8d Photos: UHH, Mina Esfandiari
