QUARKS combines research and teaching and at the same time gives students an insight into the practical applications of quantum physics. Whether as an introduction or as a supplement – these modules are an opportunity to convey the subject of quantum communication in a lively and understandable way. We provide the necessary technical equipment!
On 17 June 2025, the QUARKS team participated as an exhibitor at Silicon Saxony Day 2025.
At the event, we presented a demonstration of quantum communication and showed how quantum technologies can transform secure data transmission.
Our exhibition highlighted the potential of quantum solutions for ultra-secure and future – proof communication networks.
Modules with curriculum reference
As part of QUARKS, we offer 90-minute school modules that are tailored to the Saxon and Bavarian curriculum. Developed by scientists and educators, these modules introduce students to the exciting world of quantum communication.
The modules cover the basics of quantum physics, innovative technologies such as quantum computers and various communication models. They can be flexibly adapted to different school types, class levels and learning areas. Even if the topic is not directly included in the learning area, the modules can also be offered in computer science lessons on information security, for example.
Module 1—Quantum time travel
In this module, the fascinating phenomena of quantum physics such as superposition, the uncertainty principle and entanglement are explained in a clear way. Pupils then learn how these principles form the basis for tap-proof communication. A journey through time to the scientists of the past sheds light on important milestones in quantum research. Finally, we take a look at the future of quantum communication and discuss the opportunities these technologies offer for the world of tomorrow.
