Outreach

The Physics/Astronomy Department of the University of Bonn is doing a lot of outrach and public work

Below you find an overview of the different outreach activities offered by the Nonlinear Quantum Optics group at university of Bonn.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch, we are looking forward to hearing from you.

Visit our labs

We are very happy to welcome visitors in our labs, both individual visitors, and school classes.
A laboratory visit can be combined with an introductory talk. Get in touch to hear more.

We come to you

We are happy to visit you, bringing quantum physics and funtamental research to classrooms and public events.

We have previously given popular science talks for broader audiences in for instance bars - our talks usually go well with a light beer.

Get in touch to hear more.

Single photon interferometer

The aim of the Nonlinear Quantum Optics group at University of Bonn is to gain control over light on quantum level - over single photons. With this demonstration experiment we allow the audience to explore the quantum nature of light. We show how an interference pattern is formed over time with an input of single photons.

We happily bring the interferometer to you, get in touch to hear more.

Lego Laser Game

We also have some fun games such as the Lego Laser Game where you can compete with peers and friends in three different levels to make it onto the leaderboard. With this, you can get in touch with the fun life of optics.

If you are interested, make sure to contact us.
