Science integrated in education

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!

News for Schools

On the occasion of International Quantum Day, QUARKS organised a special event to bring the world of quantum technologies closer to the public. The initiative took place at the Technische Universität Dresden and involved both students and employees of the university.

The day was divided into two parts: in the morning we enthusiastically welcomed a school from Bautzen, while in the afternoon it was the turn of university students and TUD staff.

In both cases, the event consisted of two parts. In the first, QUARKS researchers introduced the participants to the basic concepts of physics and quantum communication, making even the most complex aspects accessible through clear and engaging explanations.

Following this, everyone had the opportunity to visit the Quantum Edge Computing Lab, where theory gave way to practice: state-of-the-art tools, concrete projects and a privileged glimpse into what the future of technology will hold.

Quantum communication taught easily

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.

School Modules

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.

On 9 July Quarks will be at the TU Dresden Summer University! Join us to discover the more innovative side of science and technology, including experiments, inspiration and dialogue with brilliant minds.

On 9 July, Quarks is coming to the TU Dresden Summer University!

It will be a day dedicated to innovation, discovery and meeting young people who are passionate about science, technology, mathematics and computer science. We will enthusiastically participate in this special week to let you experience the world of research in a direct and exciting way.

We look forward to interactive experiences, scientific curiosities and the chance to engage with those who work every day to make science accessible and fascinating.

It’s not just an event: it’s a chance to ignite your passion for STEM and get up close and personal with the future you can build.
