Second Balkan Student Summer School
on Quantum Physics
(Thessaloniki, August 25-29 2025)
The 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) recognizes 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics. In this framework the Balkan Physical Union, the Greek Physical Society, the European Physical Society and Ellinogermaniki Agogi are organising the 2nd Balkan Students Summer School on Quantum Physics.

The 2nd Balkan Students Summer School aims to demonstrate role of quantum physics education, its importance in preparing the next generation of scientists and engineers, and how it could be integrated in the current school curricula. Quantum Physics education is becoming increasingly important as advancements in quantum technologies such as quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum sensing continue to shape the future. As industries adopt quantum innovations, the need for skilled professionals with a strong understanding of quantum mechanics grows.

The school focuses on teaching the principles of quantum mechanics, the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales. Students will explore the fundamental concepts such as wave-particle duality, quantum superposition, and quantum entanglement, which are critical to understanding the behavior of quantum systems.

As quantum technologies become more prevalent, the ability to understand and apply quantum principles will be a valuable asset. Quantum physics education fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills, preparing students to contribute to innovative research and development that will shape future technology.
