Tandem Mentoring Program
The Tandem Mentoring Program by QUARKS connects students, companies, and academic experts in a unique mentoring experience focused on quantum communication and quantum computing.
Guided by university researchers, participants exchange knowledge, explore real-world challenges, and build bridges between academia and industry. Registration closes on 12th of September 2025 — don’t miss your chance!
Beat the Quantum Randomness
Human vs. Quantum computer
How random can you type a row of fifty 0 and 1? Is your input more random than the output of a quantum computer? Give it a try and learn more about the way a quantum computer works!
Quantum computing
2 QUBITS each computer.
Quantum computers use a processor that performs calculations based on the principles of quantum mechanics. Instead of classical bits, it uses QUBITS. This enables calculations that would take a classical computer exponentially longer to perform.
Qubit
Manipulated and measured quantum particles. Electrons or photons can be used as qubits
Quantum Communication
Definition of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Space
There are different quantum communication protocols, e.g. the E91 protocol, which uses entangled quantum states to exchange keys in data transmission. The BB84 protocol in contrast relies on the polarization of photons. Unlike conventional cryptographic methods, the security of quantum communication is based on a physical law of nature and not on mathematical assumptions. However, as quantum states are very fragile, their transmission poses considerable technical challenges.

Events for Industry
- 28.10. – 29.10.2025
On October 28 and 29, 2025, QUARKS will be represented at the Thinknet 6G Summit in Nuremberg – one of the key events on the future of connectivity.
QUARKS will use the platform to provide its own impetus, present innovative approaches, and actively shape the dialogue on quantum sciences and their role in digital transformation.
- 05.11.2025
QUARKS will participate in Hub:Disrupt 2025 with a workshop dedicated to the topic of quantum randomness. The meeting will open with an introductory presentation on the differences between classical and quantum randomness, highlighting the importance of the quality of randomness in everyday life and in modern technologies. Through historical examples and real applications, participants will be involved in a series of interactive activities designed to stimulate reflection and participation.
