From June to October 2025, explore novel aspects of quantum technologies at five Quantum breakfasts, hosted by the University of Luxembourg and the Chamber of Commerce
Why quantum?
In its early stages today, quantum technology is set to bring striking changes to various industries in the near future, in areas such as cybersecurity, health, finances and environmental sciences. Applying quantum technologies to products, processes and services, and navigating its potential and challenges, will be key for industries and business sectors to thrive and innovate.
At Uni.lu, scientists and engineers stay at the forefront of these exciting developments, turning quantum principles into practical applications that improve daily life.
