new federal board, Photo Contest Quantenjahr, Anniversary
Hi there!
As we approach the end of the Quantum Year, there’s still plenty of quantum-themed program waiting for you! For example, you can take part in a panel discussion on “Quantum Computing – Hope or Hype?”, submit a photo for the quantum photo competition until the end of the year, or join the jDPG game night.
You’ll find all the details on dates and how to participate further down in the newsletter – we’re looking forward to seeing you at the events!

Quantum Computing – Hope or Hype? English
📆 When? 20.11.25, 17:30
📍 Where? Online
In recent years, quantum computing has reached remarkable milestones. Yet one of the most pressing questions remains: when – and if – quantum computers will deliver practical advantages for industry and society?
What technical hurdles must be overcome to reach this stage? Will there be sufficient financial investment and sustained interest to drive progress? And how will quantum computing compare to other emerging technologies such as neural networks and artificial intelligence?
These questions lie at the heart of our panel discussion, which brings together leading voices to explore the future of quantum computing: visionary promise or overhyped potential?

Photo Contest: Quantum Year 2025
To celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025, we are launching a special photo competition!
We’re looking for creative photos that capture different aspects of quantum physics.
Send us your picture — ideally featuring one of our Quantum stickers (distributed to all regional groups at the Members’ Weekend) — and win a jDPG fan package!

20 Years of jDPG!
Next year marks a big milestone — jDPG is turning 20!
At the Members’ Weekend, we already gathered tons of ideas in a workshop (you can find the results in our Cloud).
Our first small project: finding the perfect anniversary slogan and logo!
You can upload your ideas and designs to the Cloud folder until December 1st (please submit logos as PNG or SVG).
If you’d like to contribute or bring one of the anniversary project ideas (here) to life, we’d love to hear from you:
