Light and Matter - Insights into exhibiting quantum optics at the Deutsches Museum — •Katharina Stuhrberg — Deutsches Museum, Munich

For the year 2024, the Deutsches Museum is developing an exhibition on quantum optics with the title "Light and Matter". The new exhibit covers the subjects of quantum physics, lasers and spectroscopy in their historical context. A variety of hands-on demonstrations, objects, as well as "Szenoramas" - a new form of artistic storytelling - are deployed in our exhibition to make quantum physics, optics and their history accessible for all visitors of various backgrounds that come to the Deutsches Museum. This talk will outline the exhibition's concept and discuss how quantum optics and its historical background will be introduced to the public.
