Alessandro Marcomini at the Pint of Science in Vigo, 2025.

The Pint of Science is an international event that invites leading researchers to share their knowledge in a relaxed and informal setting. During three days, the organizers and participants aim to create a format that is accessible to all audiences. This festival is held every year simultaneously across all participating countries and cities, and for three consecutive days, bars around the globe are filled with science.

The event was organized by Atlanttic and celebrated from May 19 to 21. The stage chosen for this new edition of Pint of Science in Vigo 2025 was Vitruvia Cafe and El Castro Bar in the centre of the city.

Doctoral Candidate Alessandro Marcomini was pleased to participate in this edition. He presented a talk titled: “The Magic of Quantum Mechanics: From the Multiverse to Home”.

During his presentation, Alessandro introduced the general audience to the core, fascinating principles of quantum mechanics in a playful and engaging way. In this way, he could underline how quantum physics defeats the way we are habitually looking at the world, therefore opening the door to a multitude of new applications and discoveries. In fact, at the end of his talk Alessandro illustrated the most promising technological applications of quantum mechanics, including of course quantum computers and quantum cryptography.

His talk has been appreciated by the public, with people of different ages and backgrounds involved in asking multiple questions at the end of it.
