International Year of Quantum Sciences and Technology
1 Sep, 2025The 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) recognizes 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics.
Recognizing the importance of quantum science and the need for wider awareness of its past and future impact, dozens of national scientific societies gathered together to support marking 100 years of quantum mechanics with a U.N.-declared international year.
According to the proclamation, this year-long, worldwide initiative will “be observed through activities at all levels aimed at increasing public awareness of the importance of quantum science and applications.”
Anyone, anywhere can participate in IYQ by helping others to learn more about quantum on this centennial occasion, participating in or organizing an IYQ event, or simply taking the time to learn more about quantum science and technology.
The Opening Ceremony of the International Year of Quantum Sciences and Technology took place on
Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 February 2025 at UNESCO, 7 Place de Fontenoy, Paris 7e.
