We invite you to a scientific event in Lviv dedicated to World Quantum Day

02.04.2025 | 17:49

On April 10-11, 2025, for the third time in Lviv, as well as online (via ZOOM), an international scientific event dedicated to World Quantum Day will take place.
The goal of the event is to popularize quantum theory and bring together scientists, IT community representatives, students, and high school students to discuss quantum mechanics challenges, achievements, and the future of quantum technologies and quantum programming.
The program will include activities of interest to both beginners in quantum mechanics (high school students, university...
