Ulm officially kicked off its quantum year with the launch event on 14 March: quant.ulm.2025, in honour of a true Ulm native - Albert Einstein, who was born on this day in 1879. 🎉 Not only was a black hole staged on Münsterplatz and in the Haus der Begegnung, but the future was also made tangible - with exciting impulses on quantum technology and a premiere: the first public model of the Albert Einstein Discovery Centre, designed by star architect Daniel Libeskind. Also present: 🔹 Nobel Prize winner Prof. Dr Anne L'Huillier 🔹 Lord Mayor Martin Ansbacher 🔹 Prof. Joachim Ankerhold, University of Ulm 🔹 Dr Christian Brand, German Aerospace Centre (DLR) Ulm shows: The future of quantum research has long been the present. With the University, DLR, TFU, IHK, the Einstein Discovery Centre and the City of Ulm's Digital Agenda, quantum technology is not just being thought about here - it's being lived. Our film gives you a first insight into the energy, curiosity and innovative power with which Ulm is celebrating the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.

A new laser clock from DLR has achieved a record level of accuracy for future space clocks. In 30 million years, it would only be one second off. The quantum properties of iodine molecules in a gas cell set the optical clock’s rhythm. In the future, space-qualified laser clocks should enable satellite navigation with centimetre precision and provide a global time standard.

Exploring quantum technologies and bring them together to application with industry is the mission of the DLR institute of the same name in Ulm. The film for the institute's opening in 2021 provides a first insight into the institute's work, topics, projects and missions. Whether for long-term secure communication and encryption using quantum technologies, very precise navigation of autonomous cars, trains, ships and aircraft or super precise time and position determination for other applications on earth and in space - DLR researchers are working on groundbreaking projects and generate knowledge for the world of tomorrow.
