From 11-22 August, 2025, the summer school will bring together Danish and international Ph.D. students in physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science and similar fields with an interest in learning more about quantum technologies. The students will dive into topics like quantum information, quantum computing theory, quantum systems and quantum and AI. The programme will also feature laureates’ sessions, allowing the students to engage in discussions across generations. The teaching methods combine lectures, case-based learning, and hands-on lab work to provide a dynamic and immersive learning experience, and the students will benefit greatly from an exceptional team of dedicated faculty members all with extensive experience and strong expertise in quantum research.

The Niels Bohr Quantum Summer School is a direct result of the Danish National Quantum Strategy, published in 2023. The summer school is therefore designed to showcase the entire Danish quantum ecosystem, aligning with the strategy’s objective of attracting quantum talent to Denmark and fostering a robust and innovative quantum sector.

In its first year, the summer school will be held in Copenhagen at the historic Niels Bohr Institute. Future installments will rotate among other universities in Denmark in the following sequence:

• 2026: University of Southern Denmark
• 2027: Technical University of Denmark
• 2028: Aalborg University

The summer school is expected to host 70 participants—35 students from Danish universities and 35 international students, and students from USA, Israel, South Korea and Germany and are given priority, as these countries are specifically highlighted in the Danish National Quantum Strategy and all host a Danish Innovation Centre. The Niels Bohr Quantum Summer School is organized in a collaboration between DeiC, the University of Copenhagen, Aalborg University, Technical University of Denmark, University of Southern Denmark, Aarhus University, and Innovation Centre Denmark, as part of the national quantum strategy.
