Researchers from the Quantum Computer Science Centre at the Faculty of Computing of the University of Latvia welcomed the Researchers' Night visitors with quantum algorithm demonstrations and a lecture on quantum algorithms in our lives. Whereas, in the RTU Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications, in the Telecommunications Institute's laboratory researching fibre optic transmission systems, which is unique in Baltic states, visitors had the opportunity to learn more about optical fibres and sensors. It was also possible to learn about applications of various optical technologies in modern data transmission and technologies for future secure communication networks.
More than 700 science enthusiasts of all ages visited the Institute of Solid State Physics at the University of Latvia for the Researchers' Night, with young people being the most represented. At the Researchers' Night, everyone had the opportunity to visit the ISSF and learn about the work of the Institute's scientists. The live fire show and luminescence experiments were fascinating. There was also the opportunity to model crystal lattices and to enjoy a scientific snack.
Visitors to the Researchers' Night could try their hand at making a nano-device, find out what a magnetometer is and what it can measure, and take part in various physics experiments and demonstrations - all this was available to visitors of the University of Latvia, Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Optometry and the School of Young Physicists.
