IBM Research Africa Quantum Meetup: A Framework for Secure Financial Transactions with Relativistic Quantum Tokens

We’re excited to welcome Isa Tippens from the University of Western Cape as our featured speaker in this engaging seminar series. The event will be held in a hybrid format, with in-person attendance at Wits, Gatehouse, and online participation available.

Research into quantum money dates back to the 1980s, but its practical implementation has been delayed due to the absence of efficient quantum memory. Isa’s project bridges the gap by integrating quantum and classical techniques to demonstrate a proof-of-concept transaction system. Combining quantum communication and cryptography, the project combines quantum key distribution, hashing, and GPS-based time synchronization protocols to create a secure quantum banknote framework. This approach enables the anonymous generation, exchange, and verification of quantum banknotes while maintaining robust security against counterfeiting.

SnT2025 is scheduled to take place at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria, and online to create a worldwide inclusive conference with the objective of gathering global support.

Entangle Moment – [Quantum | Earth | Universe] × Art

Overview

To commemorate the declaration of 2025 as the “International Year of Quantum Science and Technology,” this summer, we will hold a special exhibition titled “entangle Moment — [quantum, earth, universe] × art” at the Osaka–Kansai Expo in Japan.
This exhibition aims to allow a wide range of visitors to experience three key themes—the microscopic world of quantum, the oceans and Earth that nurture life, and the vast universe—through collaborations between science, technology, and art.

About the Exhibition

The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of quantum mechanics.
In recognition of this milestone, the United Nations General Assembly has declared 2025 the “International Year of Quantum Science and Technology” under the auspices of UNESCO.

In celebration of this historic year, entangle moment – [quantum | earth | universe] × art will present an immersive experience of the quantum, ocean, and cosmic realms through interdisciplinary collaboration across science, technology, and the arts.
From the microcosmic world of quantum mechanics to the deep sea and global ecosystems and out into the mysteries of the cosmos, this exhibition offers “entangled” installations, where scientific knowledge and artistic imagination are interwoven.
Just as quantum research spans a century, scientists and artists alike have long explored the invisible, the uncertain, and the deeply mysterious aspects of nature.

Across eras, it is creative experimentation—rooted in imagination and technology—that has opened new paths of perception.
The venue will feature a circular space inspired by the legendary Ouroboros, symbolizing continuity between the micro and macro realms.

Visitors are invited to journey through a conceptual loop of past, present, and future

Within this space, cutting-edge research from Japanese universities, institutions, and companies—including quantum computing and sensing, quantum communication, Arctic exploration, deep-sea research tracing the origins of life, and astrophysical studies on black holes and dark matter—will coexist with artistic expressions to form a unique and immersive environment. Through these exhibitions, videos, XR installations, interactive artworks, and computer games, visitors may witness the moment when a new form of art emerges—born from the convergence of imagination and science.

As you explore the exhibition at your own pace, we invite you to reflect on how science and technology are becoming inseparable from our changing planet, and to consider the “moment” we live in—across past, present, and future.
A rich lineup of stage events will also be held, including talks, workshops, and musical programs featuring researchers, artists, and thinkers from diverse fields.

We hope this exhibition serves as a catalyst for new questions, ideas, and initiatives that will propel us into the next 100 years.

QUIDIQUA 3

This conference on quasiprobability distributions in quantum mechanics, optics, and information (QuiDiQua) will bring together physicists and mathematicians studying all aspects of the use of quasiprobabilities in quantum mechanics, as well as of their recent applications in quantum information theory and quantum metrology.

Swiss Quantum Week 2025

To mark the 100th anniversary of quantum science and technology, UNESCO has declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. As part of this global celebration, members of Swiss academic institutions, the Swiss quantum industry, and science diplomacy and policymaking have come together to launch the Swiss Quantum Week.
Driven by a mission to connect the diverse stakeholders and users of quantum science and technology—from ecosystem builders and policymakers to researchers, students, and entrepreneurs—Swiss Quantum Week builds on the strengths of established, well-attended events such as QIDiS and the GESDA Summit to create a cohesive platform that includes:

• Swissnex Quantum Summit
• Quantum Industry Day in Switzerland
• The annual GESDA Summit
• Open Quantum Institute in-person gathering
• QAI Quantum Hackathon
• A Quantum Outreach Day for families and the general public

Each event is designed for a specific audience, while encouraging cross-sector dialogue and international collaboration. Swiss Quantum Week aims to broaden perspectives, foster meaningful connections, and strengthen the Swiss and global quantum landscape.

Quantum Future Talent: Open Day & Careers Fair

The Sydney Quantum Academy is hosting Quantum Future Talent: Open Day & Careers Fair to provide information and guidance on study and career pathways in quantum science and technology. The event is divided into two sessions: a morning session for high school and undergraduate students, parents, and career advisors, introducing quantum science, study options, and scholarship opportunities; and an afternoon session for final-year undergraduates, postgraduates, PhD candidates, and early-career researchers, offering opportunities to connect with universities and employers and learn about internships, scholarships, and career options in the quantum sector.

Discover where quantum can take you at Quantum Future Talent: Open Day + Careers Fair – a free event where you can explore career and study pathways in one of Australia’s fastest-growing tech sectors.

Workshop: Quantum Algorithms and Applications for Physics and Chemistry

The workshop comprises three tracks, plus a plenary session, including a hands-on introduction to quantum computing and Qiskit, a session on quantum education, and a deep dive into utilizing quantum computation for exploring problems in high-energy physics and chemistry.

This workshop is co-organized by Fermilab’s SQMS Center and IBM, with support from the University of Illinois, Chicago, and the Chicago Quantum Exchange. The event will be hosted at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
