WHY April 14th?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> The World Quantum Day is celebrated on April 14, a reference to 4.14, the rounded first digits of Planck\u2019s constant: 4.135667696\u00d710\u221215 eV.s = 0,000 000 000 000 004 135667696 electronvolt second, a product of energy and time that is the fundamental constant governing quantum physics. Why is Planck\u2019s constant so important? Did you know it is used to define the kilogram? And, otherwise, how does it affect our lives? These are some of the questions, among many others, that will be addressed by the World Quantum Day activities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t April 14th 2024 – May 2024<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t QuanTour \u2013 Ein Quantenemittler geht auf Reisen<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t A quantum light source is going on tour and the first stop is Johannes Kepler University Linz. As part of the Europe-wide QuanTour, a TU Berlin project, Linz is the first of twelve stations, making practical quantum physics visible. “We will receive a quantum dot device from TU Berlin, operate it as a photon source in our laboratories, measure it and then send it on tour through Europe,” stated Armando Rastelli, Professor and Head of the Institute of Semiconductor and Solid State Physics at JKU Linz.
