On the 7th of December from 11.30 till 15, Pepijn Pinkse (Professor of Adaptive Quantum Optics) will be giving his inaugural lecture 'Light on Quantum Technology'. Quantum technology is seen as a promising technology for the future. But what exactly is quantum, how does it work, and how do we apply it? In the run-up to Pepijn's inauguration (7 December, 16.00h), QuantumDelta NL, MinacNed, and MESA+ jointly organize a symposium, Quantum for Dummies.
