World Quantum Day
Come celebrate with IQUIST on Friday, April 10 during Engineering Open House
World Quantum Day is an annual celebration promoting public awareness and understanding of quantum science and technology around the world.
Quantum science has led to the development of revolutionary technologies such as LED lights, MRI scanners, solar panels, lasers and the atomic clock, which is essential for GPS. World Quantum Day is an opportunity for the public to get to know the quantum scientists, who will share knowledge and inspire the next wave of quantum discoveries, from quantum computing to sensing and communication. The possibilities are limitless!

The Physics Van
Loomis Laboratory Room 141
Live Shows: 10 a.m. | 12 p.m. | 2 p.m.
Crowd Interaction: 1 p.m. | 3 p.m.
By performing and explaining exciting physics demonstrations, we show our audiences that science is fun and worthwhile for people who wonder about why the world acts the way it does. We challenge kids' mental picture of what kind of people scientists are. We show them that as long as you want to learn and have fun, there's a world of physics waiting to be discovered!
