he school laboratory PhotonLab at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics publishes the pilot episode of the German-language audio play series "Alice in Quantum Land". The series is aimed at children between the ages of 6 and 12 as well as their parents. It provides first insights into the fascinating world of quantum physics in a playful and entertaining way, with plenty of puzzling adventures.

Alice im Quantenland: Eine Katze namens Schrödinger
And here you can listen to the song again:
Welt der Quanten - der Alice Song
Now the time has finally come: After our first teaser, episode 1 of the audio play series "Alice in Quantum Land" is available to listen to here. The episode entitled "A Cat Named Schrödinger" is the prelude to a series of audio plays based on the famous "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Caroll, in which the girl Alice and her rabbit Rabbit experience wondrous adventures in the quantum world. The very first episode involves tunneling through a wall. Furthermore, Alice meets a strange grinning cat named Schrödinger, who frees her from a box in which she was supposedly dead and alive. Schrödinger becomes her friend and companion on her trip through Quantum Land and the search for the missing Rabbit. And together they even start singing! Have fun listening!

A collaborative project of the PhotonLab student laboratory at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ), the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST), the Deutsches Museum and the Munich Quantum Valley (MQV).
Welcome to Photonworld – a platform for knowledge, interesting facts and science on the topic of light. Photonworld aims to provide a basic understanding of the physics of light and its countless phenomena. From medicine, to art and physics: all topics are covered.
Photonworld originated as an initiative of the excellence cluster the Munich-Centre for Advanced Photonics (MAP) and the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics (LAP) at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ).
The initiator of the project is Prof. Dr. Ferenc Krausz, Chair of Experimental Physics at the LMU and Director of the MPQ.
Photonworld’s Student Zone reports directly out of the PhotonLab, which is supported by the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST) and the DFG Research Unit FOR 2783. At the PhotonLab, schoolteachers and students can find up-to-date information about experiments and goings-on at the lab, and plan their own visit to the laboratory.
