Quantum Technology in Society: Explore what the future offers

Julia Cramer, an associate professor at Leiden University, is committed to bringing quantum technology closer to the general public. She wants to show that this groundbreaking technology, with applications such as a secure quantum net and super-fast quantum computers, is also relevant outside academic circles.

Through workshops, exhibitions and public lectures, Cramer is creating a connection between quantum developments and society. Her goal is to make quantum technology accessible and broad-based, which is crucial to making it more inclusive and socially relevant.

“My goal is to place quantum more into society,” Cramer says. From the Leiden Bio Science Park, this will make an essential contribution to science communication and social awareness around quantum technology, engaging diverse audiences to prevent social inequality.
