Industrial Innovation Day
October 28 – 29, 2025 in Nuremberg
Dive into the world of quantum technologies — from research to possible applications.
This event brings together expertise from entrepreneurship, research, and start-ups.
Whether you are looking for initial guidance, targeted knowledge transfer, or specific cooperation opportunities, the Industrial Innovation Day offers exchange, inspiration, and new perspectives.
This event is part of the ThinkNet 6G Summit – 28. – 29. Octobre 2025.
Quant
Atoms are composed of building blocks: protons, neutrons and electrons. These building blocks are quanta, the smallest possible units that cannot be further subdivided.

Speaker
Janis Nötzel | Emmy Noether Research Group Lead | TU München
Janis Nötzel studied physics at the TU Berlin and received his doctorate from the TU Munich in 2012 with his dissertation “Quantum Communication under Channel Uncertainty”. He was a DFG scholarship holder at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and as head of an EXIST research transfer at the TU Dresden. In December 2018, he moved to TU Munich as head of the DFG’s first Emmy Noether Group in the field of electrical engineering for quantum technologies. There, he is developing technical and mathematical concepts as well as software tools for integrating quantum communication technologies into conventional communication networks.

Jessica Gollmann | STEM Education Manager | TU Dresden
I am STEM Education Manager at the Deutsche Telekom Chair for Communication Networks in the all about QUARKS project.
In my presentation, I will provide insights into the outreach activities of the QUARKS project. Our goal is to make quantum communication accessible in an understandable and inspiring way for various target groups – from schoolchildren to industry representatives to the general public.
Together with scientists, we develop a variety of educational formats and interactive demonstrations, and actively participate in science events. I invite you to learn more about our approaches and experiences in science communication.

Quantum Computing
Secure Data Transmission for Sensitive Applications
Quantum computing is a fundamentally new approach to computation. While classical computers process information in bits—either 0 or 1—quantum computers use qubits, which can represent multiple states at once. The key advantage of quantum computing lies in its potential to solve highly complex problems exponentially faster—especially those involving massive data sets, probabilistic outcomes, or optimization challenges.
Quantum Communication
Designed to enable highly secure data transmission—even in the face of future threats posed by quantum computing.
Its strength lies in the laws of quantum physics, which make it possible to detect any attempt at eavesdropping and ensure that information remains confidential. This makes it especially relevant for areas that handle critical or highly sensitive data.
- Public administration – to safeguard sensitive government and citizen data
- Defense and military – to exchange classified information securely and confidentially
- Healthcare – to ensure the privacy and integrity of patient records
- Finance and banking – to protect transactions and communication from unauthorized access
Quantum communication is not a replacement for existing systems, but a forward-looking layer of security—designed for a world where conventional encryption may no longer be enough.

Advantages of the Quantum Communication
Quantum communication has particularly high application potential in areas that work with critical or highly confidential information. Even if quantum computers are able one day able to decrypt our encryption, quantum communication can provide high security. Possible application areas are: public administration to safeguard sensitive government and citizen data, military to exchange information securely and confidential, medical sector to ensure the privacy and integrity of patient records or finance and banking to protect transactions and communications from interference.
Areas of application for Quantum Computing
- Chemistry and materials science – accelerating the discovery of new molecules or materials
- Logistics and optimization – improving supply chain planning, traffic flow, or resource allocation
- Financial modeling – analyzing risk and pricing complex instruments more efficiently
- Artificial intelligence – enabling faster and more effective machine learning algorithms
- Cybersecurity – both challenging current encryption and enabling quantum-resistant methods

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.
