The day started off at half past nine after our usual buffet breakfast at our hotel. We headed to the U-Bahn station to take a train to the University station, Universitat. We had to attend a lecture at 10am, which is about “Quantum Cryptography”. After the talk, we went to the rooftop of the building to have a look at the set up and have a better understanding of how it works.

We were done by noon and headed off for our lunch at the Mensa. Our student helpers, Max and Eyleeen suggested that we could visit the Nymphenburg Palace at Schloss Nymphenburg, which is rather nearby. We took the U-bahn and changed to a tram to reach our destination. On our way to the entrance, we were busy taking photos of the beautiful surroundings. It was really a pretty sight!
Schloss Nymphenburg
We purchased the entrance tickets and also the audio guide at a discounted price due to group discounts. It was rather interesting to see how King Ludwig I built his palace, along with many other displays that were really impressive.

We were given free time to walk around and make our own way back to the university at 5 in the evening for another lecture, Colloquium Talk. It was given by Prof Serge Haroche (ENS, Paris) on “Fundamental Tests of Quantum Mechanics in a 'Photon Box' “. There were many German students and professors attending as well. There was an interesting action that we picked up from them, as they were knocking on the table instead of clapping their hands as applause.
After the lecture, it was dinner time. Some of us went for a dinner at a university restaurant just around the corner, while the others wanted to do some shopping. We heard that they served large portions of food at cheap prices, hence, we would like to give it a try. The portions were actually only reasonable, not as large as we imagined. It had a menu that was almost identical to the one we had on the previous night for our welcome dinner. After dinner, the group separated and we each headed to explore the city further.
