Upcoming Events
phaeno Quantum Action Day
Discover the Invisible.
On November 5, 2026, phaeno will transform into a quantum laboratory for the morning. Eleven partners from science and industry will bring superposition, entanglement and quantum sensing to life – for school classes looking for more than just theory.
Quantum physics not just from the textbook – but experienced firsthand.
What happens when the rules of our everyday world suddenly no longer apply? That is the central question of Quantum Action Day at phaeno. Together with the “quantum aktiv” initiative, the science center is opening its doors to school classes who want to do more than just talk about quantum technologies – they want to experience them firsthand.
In workshops, interactive stations and conversations with real scientists, your students will discover how quantum cryptography, quantum sensing and the fundamentals of quantum physics work in practice – and what makes them truly relevant for the future.
Workshops
Workshop formats ranging from cryptography to NV diamonds, with fixed time slots and limited places.
Interactive Stations
Ten partners from across Germany will showcase their “quantum aktiv” stations. Touch, experiment, ask questions – for as long as you like.
Meet the Scientists
Talk directly to researchers, ask your own questions and discover what quantum research really feels like in everyday life.
phaeno in Full
Many more phenomena from physics and technology are waiting to be explored in Germany’s largest hands-on science center.
