100-Year Quantum Mechanics Celebration: "Music Quantum"
On Sunday, October 5th, audiences in Duisburg are in for a unique experience as the University of Duisburg-Essen presents 'A Quantum of Music - Music meets Science in the Quantum Year 2025.' This concert, taking place at the Old Audimax Campus Duisburg, Building LA, Lotharstr. 65, promises to transport audiences into the visible and invisible quantum world with impulsive rhythms and shimmering sounds.
Organised by the University of Duisburg-Essen, the concert programme includes specially arranged pieces, popular melodies such as from Disney's Aladdin or Star Wars, and experiments that bring the quantum world to life. Prof. Dr. Axel Lorke and Dr. Nicolas Wöhler from the University of Duisburg-Essen will guide the audience through the program, using clear experiments and a touch of humour.
Quantum physics, a field of physics that deals with the behaviour of atoms and light particles, will be the central theme of this concert. Two physicists participating in the event are Prof. Dr. Olaf Schneider and Prof. Dr. Sebastian Wölfl, both teaching in the physics department at the University of Duisburg-Essen.
The Brass Symphony of Abbey Hamborn is collaborating with Dr. Nicolas Wöhler and Prof. Dr. Axel Lorke for this concert. Tickets can be obtained either online (print@home) or at the box office. No prior knowledge of quantum physics is required to attend the concert, just curiosity.

It's important to remember that many achievements of our time, including computers, solar cells, and lasers, are based on quantum mechanics. This concert aims to explore the connection between quantum physics and music, making it an exciting event for both science enthusiasts and music lovers alike. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience the fascinating world of quantum mechanics through the medium of music!
