The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics in the focus of the "MINT on Wednesday" series

All interested parties are invited to this lecture in the Central Lecture Theatre of the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU), Lecture Theatre C, Konrad-Wachsmann-Allee 3, 03046 Cottbus. Admission is free.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics goes to the quantum researchers John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis. In the mid-1980s, they investigated the quantum mechanical tunnelling effect in superconducting circuits and thus laid the foundation for the building blocks of quantum computers.

The lecture provides a vivid introduction to the basics of superconductivity, in which current transport is possible without electrical resistance. Superconductivity is one of the few physical phenomena that makes quantum mechanics visible in our macroscopic world. Building on this, the lecture will present the work of the designated Nobel Prize winners in Physics and discuss the resulting implications for the design of quantum computers.

About the public lecture series "MINT am Mittwoch"
The lecture series "MINT am Mittwoch" presents current scientific topics in an understandable way for an interested public. The content of the lectures is linked to the research topics at Faculty 1 MINT Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology and thus provides exciting insights into the fields of study of the basic sciences at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg.
