The quantum universe is closer than you think! From the cellphones in our pockets to the technologies shaping the future, quantum physics is part of everyday life. Ideas like superposition (particles existing in many states at once), entanglement (mysterious connections across distance), and quantum tunneling (particles slipping through barriers) aren’t just abstract concepts—they power real-world innovations.

The Quantum Open House is open to all—no prior knowledge is needed! 

What you can expect at the event: 

• One-on-one with faculty/research groups 
• Try your hand at quantum computer gaming
• Do superconducting levitation yourself 
• Tour research labs
• Tour of the Department of Physics and Astronomy 
• Stimulating talks and engaging demos 
• Learn how to make 2D quantum material 
• Liquid nitrogen ice cream
