SciBall2025: Dancing into the World Quantum Year 2025

quantA brought quantum research to center stage at this year's Science Ball in Vienna, captivating attendees with a unique blend of music and science.


On January 25, 2025, Vienna celebrated the 10th edition of the Ball der Wissenschaften (Science Ball), where science and art took center stage. The elegant event, known for blending tradition with cutting-edge research, featured a diverse program of music, performances, and scientific highlights across several venues.

This year, quantA contributed with a special performance series titled "Sounds of Entanglement": The project, supported by the University of Innsbruck, transformed quantum concepts into soundscapes, offering a creative take on the complex world of quantum physics. Throughout the evening, visitors had the opportunity to explore the intersection of science and art through music, interactive exhibits, and themed performances.

Prominent members of the Austrian quantum research community, including many from quantA, attended the ball, enjoying both the festivities and the opportunity to network with peers. The event’s success underscored the growing public interest in quantum research, especially during the UNESCO International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025.

Anton Zeilinger, Nobel laureate and former ball ambassador, famously remarked: “What would Vienna be without its balls? Definitely not Vienna. Good that there is the Science Ball.” His words resonate deeply as the Science Ball continues to inspire curiosity and enthusiasm for scientific discovery.

With vibrant events like this, Austria continues to showcase its commitment to promoting science to broader audiences, highlighting the importance of research in shaping the future.
