Professor Klaus Mølmer from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen presents a lecture on quantum physics, quantum technology, and quantum computers - including the phenomena that may seem paradoxical and the new technologies they enable.

The lecture covers how quantum computers work in practice and what they can be used for. Admission is free, but registration is required. Doors open at 18:30.

About the venue: Kildevæld Kulturcenter

Kildevæld Kulturcenter is a community cultural centre in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, built as an extension to the listed Kildevældsskolen and set between the school and a neighbouring park. The building holds a library, a theatre and concert hall, creative workshops, a café, and a digital workshop equipped with laser cutters and 3D printers. Its programme targets residents of all ages in the Skt. Kjelds Kvarter neighbourhood, with a focus on the meeting point between urban nature and culture.

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.
