The Berlin Science Week is an international science outreach conference taking place in Berlin every year. This year, it takes place from 1-10 November 2023. Scientists from all over the world introduce their research topics and their social impact during the 10-day meeting to an audience of more than 20’000 visitors. There are 2 main programs: the Campus and the Forum, and NCCR Spin presents a project in both programs.

CAMPUS

The CAMPUS program takes place in the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin and consists of a collection of (interactive) booths where researchers present their research to the general public. The NCCR SPIN will introduce quantum computing and its potential relevance to society for a broad audience through their exhibition booth “Quantum Computing Unplugged”.

Quantum Computing Unplugged

The international race for developing a practical quantum computer has started. But what's exactly behind the hype? How do quantum computers function? Are they even real? Explore one of the biggest challenges of our time, meet NCCR SPIN researchers who work on developing quantum computers and ask your most burning questions!

FORUM

The FORUM is an art and science space at the Holzmarkt 25 in Berlin. The NCCR SPIN is presenting an artistic artefact inspired by unused quantum science data called “Hidden Variables”.

Hidden Variables

What lies behind a single scientific breakthrough? A journey of trials and errors, ups and downs, successes and failures, and above all, an investment of time. At the intersection between art and science, a team of six dedicated quantum computing scientists come together to show you the hidden beauty within lost data and failed measurements - essential components in the pursuit of even the most subtle scientific insights.
