Expert in quantum computing and its applications in the field of information, his research focuses on quantum information theory. Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Innsbruck (Austria) (1996–2001). Member of the Max Planck Society since 2001. Since that same year, he has been Director at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching (Germany). In 2002, he was appointed Honorary Professor at the Technical University of Munich (Germany).
Why are we celebrating these conferences?
The year 2025 has been declared by the United Nations as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, commemorating the centenary of the birth of quantum mechanics.
- What is Quantum Science? It is the branch of physics that studies the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic scale. This science describes unique phenomena that defy classical intuition, such as the superposition of states, quantum entanglement, wave-particle duality, and the uncertainty principle. These concepts explain how subatomic particles — such as electrons, photons, and atoms — interact and behave at very small scales.
- What is Quantum Technology? Quantum technology uses these fundamental properties and principles of quantum physics to develop innovative devices and systems that offer extraordinary capabilities and are transforming various fields of society and industry.
With this celebration, we aim to bring this fascinating yet little-known subject closer to the general public and highlight its growing importance across multiple fields of application that will shape our future.
For this reason, Carlos Moreno, a professor at Agora Andorra School, in collaboration with FEDA, Andorra Telecom, MoraBanc, and RTVA (as media partner), is promoting a series of conferences in Andorra, featuring top-level international and local experts.
Discover what this technology is and how it’s advancing a revolution that is already changing the world!
