In recognition of the centenary of quantum mechanics, the United Nations has proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). This global initiative aims to raise public awareness about the pivotal role of quantum science in modern society and its potential to address pressing global challenges.
The IYQ will feature a series of worldwide events, including conferences, workshops, and educational programmes, designed to engage diverse audiences—from students and educators to industry professionals and policymakers. These activities will highlight the historical significance of quantum mechanics and explore its future applications in fields such as computing, communication, and sustainable energy.
Individuals and organisations are encouraged to participate in the IYQ by organising events, contributing educational resources, or simply taking the opportunity to learn more about quantum science and technology.
For more information on how to get involved and to stay updated on upcoming events, visit the official IYQ website at quantum2025.org.IYQ 2025
