Podcast: Quanta and philosophy
Which relevance has quantum physics, and what about measurements?
In the popular science popdcast "Bridging the Gap", which is produced at TU Graz, this time Dr Berghofer (Institute of Philosophy) and Prof Maas (Institute of Physics) talk in two episodes about the interface between quantum physics and philosophy, and what we can learn from it about the world we live in. And what is real.

"In the Graz Centre of Physics, we will be able to collaborate even more intensively and in a more structured way than before with our colleagues at TU Graz in the field of experimental physics. This concerns, for example, the joint use of cost-intensive infrastructure. However, personal contact is also very important. I expect the physical proximity to my colleagues to result in a much closer scientific exchange and thus the opportunity to open up new fields of research in co-operation. Our aim will be to make Graz even more visible worldwide as a centre of physics and to attract international students and researchers to us through excellent teaching and research."

"The GCP will strengthen synergies in research, teaching and administration by merging the physics departments of TU Graz and the University of Graz. Students will benefit from the short distances at the joint location as well as from new teaching rooms and infrastructure. The greatest potential probably lies in student support and the handling of joint teaching. A central contact point for student enquiries is planned. Other administrative areas will also work more closely together and explore new administrative approaches. I'm also curious to see which sustainable concepts will find their way into the building."
Advancing science with pooled expertise. Teaching, research and technology for tomorrow.
The Graz Centre of Physics is one of the largest university construction projects in Austria. It will unite the physics institutes of the University of Graz and Graz University of Technology at a single location.
