Interviews

At atom*innen, we believe that the stories of women and gender minorities in quantum physics deserve visibility. That’s why we regularly publish inspiring interviews with female quantum physicists, in which they open up about their passion for science, the moments that sparked their curiosity, and their experiences in terms of gender and other social factors. The interviews you'll find in this section are also be shared on our Instagram channel and on LinkedIn.

Are you a quantum scientist and would like to tell your story? We’d love to hear from you!
