2025 - International Year of Quantum Science and Technology

When quantum mechanics was formulated in 1925, physics laid the foundation for our current understanding of nature. 100 years later, in 2025, quantum mechanics is having an impact on all areas of our culture, science, technology and art. UNESCO has therefore declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.
