International Year of Quantum Science and Technology
The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, marking the centenary of modern quantum theory. This recognition highlights the fundamental role of quantum mechanics in understanding the world and its potential for developing innovative technologies that harness phenomena such as superposition and quantum entanglement.
You’re invited to join the promotion of events marking the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Download the poster and display it in a visible location. With your help, we can bring quantum science and technology closer to the general public.
