During the Researchers’ Night held on September 29, the institutions participating in the QCIHungary project organized several programmes.

At the event of the BME HIT/Mobile Communication and Quantum Technologies Laboratory, those interested could get to know the basics of quantum communication in half-hour shifts, and then could get a closer look at three different systems. The first two systems implemented quantum key distribution (QKD), one with an entanglement-based open-air connection, and the other with a continuous variable and wired connection. The third system was a quantum random number generator (QRNG), which can be used to generate true random numbers.

The HUN-REN Wigner Physics Research Centre also opened its laboratories so that anyone could see what a modern physics research institute looks like. This year, more than 50 participants took part in the programmes, including families, young university students, and retired professionals.

The guests could go to the laboratories after listening to a lecture. The interest and enthusiasm was reflected by the fact, that some people stayed there all afternoon and tried to listen to each lecture. The event was made possible by the effort of nearly 30 colleagues.
