A livestreamed lecture on natural science from Aarhus University with physicist Klaus Mølmer.

About the venue: Rebildcentret

Rebildcentret med Thingbæk Kalkminer near Skørping is a museum that pairs underground chalk mines with modern exhibition buildings covering 1,600 m². Sculptor Anders Bundgaard opened the mines as a sculpture museum in 1935, placing his gypsum works in the caves; Carl Johan Bonnesen's sculptures were added in 1969. Today the centre holds permanent exhibitions on chalk, springs, art and the Cold War - including the REGAN Vest bunker - alongside rotating special exhibitions. Events range from underground concerts to nature walks, and the site includes 70 hectares of forest and trails.

About: Klaus Mølmer

One of Denmark's leading theoretical physicists, Mølmer has shaped the field through the Mølmer-Sørensen gate, now used in top quantum computing labs worldwide. He is equally at home on stage as in the lab, translating the paradoxes of the quantum world into terms any curious mind can grasp.
