Introductory Talks at Hybrid Lab

What is quantum computing? How might it influence artistic practice? And what kind of art is already emerging from this rapidly evolving field? These questions are at the heart of an afternoon of talks organized by DESY and KIT-ITAS in collaboration with UdK. Designed for a general audience, this interdisciplinary event brings together artists and physicists to explore the creative and conceptual possibilities of quantum technologies.
