What Is IYQ?

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. 

On June 7, 2024, the United Nations proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). 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.
