Quantum Hub at Homlia
On Friday, September 19, school kids gathered at Deichman Holmlia where OsloMet’s Quantum Hub organized a research square — for the third year in a row.
Our Master’s and doctoral students invited their younger colleagues into the world of quantum physics. With simple examples intended to spark curiosity, they explained quantum physics using something as everyday as coins (funny but there are also quantum bills… perhaps they should be used next time at Homlia). High-school kids were also introduced to concepts such as “entanglement” and “quantum encryption”, and how this can be used to send messages even more securely than today.
