2025 marked the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), a global initiative announced by UNESCO to celebrate 100 years of quantum mechanics. Throughout the year, numerous events and activities highlighted the crucial role of quantum science and its impact on various fields.
One of the key moments was the opening ceremony in Paris on 4 February 2025, bringing together experts, researchers, and industry leaders to discuss the latest advancements and future opportunities in quantum technologies. Across the globe, individuals and organisations contributed to IYQ by promoting quantum education, organising outreach initiatives, and engaging in discussions on how quantum applications are shaping our world.
