Description

In recent years, the emergence of quantum technologies and the vast scientific activities in the field of quantum science have also boosted the number of dissemination initiatives regarding Quantum Physics (QP). In the last four years, within the Italian Quantum Weeks project [2], we have been proposing an exhibition where the visitors are introduced to the basic concepts of QP through visual analogies, ad-hoc designed demonstrators and staging activities. In this workshop, we aim to propose these activities to the participants, which will have the possibility to actively test them and discuss their effectiveness.
