100 YEARS OF QUANTUM
IS JUST THE BEGINNING
The 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) was a global celebration to kick off the next 100 years of progress in quantum mechanics. Its mission was to increase public awareness of the importance of quantum science and applications, focusing on its applications for sustainable development, and enhancing scientific cooperation among researchers and institutions.
What happened during the IYQ?
Over one million people participated in over one thousand grassroots events initiated around the world in response to the unanimous United Nations resolution proclaiming the International Year. Funds raised from IYQ sponsors also supported over 25 official IYQ Global Events and Legacy Initiatives across six continents. While the official International Year has concluded, the mission of IYQ to bring more quantum understanding and cooperation to the world is just getting started.
News and blog archive
Throughout the Year, news articles and blog posts reported on events, profiled quantum scientists, spotlighted technological progress, and explained basic quantum concepts.
Social media for the year
We promoted and shared activities throughout the year through social media channels. The channels are now archived, but publicly available via the links below. We also launched a media campaign called the Quantum 100, which highlighted people working in quantum careers around the world.
