Dear colleagues,

World Quantum Day will be observed around the world for the first time this year on 14 April, as a way to bring everything "quantum" closer to the public and celebrate this fascinating field of study. ICTP will also take part in the celebrations with a "Quantum Games" event, on Thursday 14 April, from 12:30pm to 2pm, in the Leonardo Building bar. Table games and online games (bring your laptop), such as "Laser chess", "Dead Cat", and "Hello Quantum", will be available for the ICTP community and for everybody who is interested in experimenting and having fun with the fascinating and sometimes bizarre properties of quantum science!

The rich programme of initiatives for the "Italian Quantum Weeks @ Trieste" continues!
