Quantum communication could make our digital communication more secure in the future. But how do you explain a technology that seems quite complex at first glance?
That is exactly what the new O-PEN Challenge is all about: We are looking for creative ideas and good examples of how complex science can be communicated in a way that is understandable, vivid, and engaging.
What creates genuine “aha” moments? How can complex technologies spark curiosity and become easier to understand? And which approaches can be applied to quantum communication? We’re looking for a wide variety of ideas—from tried-and-true examples to new, unusual concepts. These could include digital, game-based, or interactive formats—there are no limits to your creativity.
The challenge is part of the program funded by the BMFTR O-PEN Project. Das Projekt entwickelt neue Wege, um Quantenkommunikation einer breiten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Dazu gehören auch Angebote wie dieser Quanten-Kompass und das Serious Game „Eve on a Mission“.
Jetzt möchten wir deine Perspektive kennenlernen: What has helped you understand complex scientific concepts in the past? Or do you have an idea of how quantum communication could be made more accessible?
The submissions will serve as inspiration for O-PEN’s future work. In addition, three particularly compelling entries will be awarded a copy of Simon Singh’s nonfiction book *The Code Book*.
