“The Quantum Revolution in Metrology”: from Quantum Hall Effect to the revolution of the International System of Units – a journey with Prof. K. von Klitzing

On May 21, 2025, as part of the seminar series “The EQUATE Seminars – Meet Quantum Science and Technology“, organized by INFN Pisa Division and CNR-NANO with the support of the University of Pisa, Prof. Klaus von Klitzing, Nobel Laureate in Physics (1985), will give the seminar entitled: “The Quantum Revolution in Metrology.

Prof. K. von Klitzing is heading the department “Low Dimensional Electron Systems” at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany.
He studied Physics at the Technical University of Braunschweig, starting his scientific career at the University of Würzburg and becoming professor at the Technical University of Munich (1980-1984). In 1985, he was appointed Honorarprofessor at the University of Stuttgart and Director and Scientific Member at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research.
In 1985, Klaus von Klitzing was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Physics “for the discovery of the quantized Hall effect”.

When and where: 21 May at 4 p.m., Aula Magna Nuovaof Palazzo della Sapienza, University of Pisa.

Contacts: Dr. F. Bianco (CNR-NANO – federica.bianco@cnr.it) and Dr. F. Paolucci (UNIPI, INFN – federico.paolucci@unipi.it).

Free participation.

The seminar cycle “The EQUATE Seminars – Meet Quantum Science and Technology” are organized within the project Defect engineered graphene for electro-thermal quantum technology – EQUATE (PNRR, Missione 4 Componente 2 Investimento 1.1, CUP I53D23000590001, Bando PRIN 2022 funded by European Commission – NextGeneration EU).
