“The festival has concluded, however, the city’s dreams and ambitions persist and will continue to be fostered and shared,” stated Le Trung Chinh, Chairman of the Da Nang administration, as he concluded the international event.

We are committed to ensuring the well-being and happiness of every citizen through our dedicated efforts.

“We are committed to transforming Da Nang into a thriving and secure metropolis, while also fostering a sustainable and environmentally-friendly living environment.”

With the chosen theme, the local government aims to emphasize the importance of global connectivity and unity. They seek to bring countries closer together, bridging geographical distances, and fostering a shared desire for peace, love, and prosperity.

The inaugural DIFF took place in 2008 and was subsequently held every three years until transitioning to an annual event starting in 2017.

Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.
