As part of the UN International Year of Quantum (IYQ), FLIQ brings together students, mentors, and industry leaders from across the world to collaborate, compete, and create real-world quantum solutions. Whether you’re a technical problem solver, an aspiring quantum entrepreneur, or a creative storyteller, FLIQ is designed to be accessible, inclusive, and impactful helping you take your first (or next) step into the quantum world.

Ciència i Tecnologia Quàntica @ Saló de l’Ensenyament

En el marc de l’Any Internacional de la Quàntica, ICFO proposa el següent taller de criptografia quàntica amb fotons de colors.

En un món digital com el nostre, on moltíssima informació sensible (financera, sanitària, etc.) és accessible per internet, la ciberseguretat és fonamental. La criptografia quàntica, basada en les propietats dels objectes a l’escala microscòpica (ex. àtoms i fotons), promet distribuir les nostres dades de manera més segura, protegint-nos d’eventuals noves tecnologies que podrien trencar els mètodes criptogràfics actuals i revelant fins i tot la presència d’un espia. Convidarem els visitants a reproduir un sistema de comunicació òptica. Podran crear un codi criptogràfic per enviar informació de manera segura i podran fer-lo servir, enviant llum de diferents colors dins d’una fibra òptica.

The aim of this website is to list the events organized in France in connection with the quantum year and to list existing French resources for the general public. The site is collaborative but moderated: anyone can suggest an event or a resource.

The Quantum Fest

As we celebrate the UNESCO International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics, The Physical Society of Japan(JPS) will hold a “Quantum Fest”.
This festival is a new attempt by JPS to allow everyone to experience the quantum world while having fun. In addition to lectures and exhibitions by researchers, we will conduct an innovative initiative that combines “quantum and music”. With a symphony that is created with an inspiration of the notion of quantum, people can “experience” the wonder of quantum through music.

Event Content

  • Lectures on quantum mechanics and its applications by quantum experts.
  • Exhibition of quantum technology with special commentary on quantum and physics by Miraikan’s science communicators.
  • Musical concerts combining quantum and music.

European Researcher’s Night Slovakia

European Researcher’s Night is the biggest science festival in Slovakia, and it brings news from the world of research and innovation in an inspiring and unique way.

The festival is traditionally held on the last Friday of September in Bratislava, Košice, Banská Bystrica, Žilina, Poprad, and other accompanying locations. The day-long program (9 am to 11 pm) offers a series of scientific presentations, discussions, experiments, workshops, technological attractions and so much more!

What 2025 holds

The scientific community is increasingly confronting the limitations of traditional predictive models and linear approaches in analyzing complex systems. Chaos, once understood as a synonym for disorder, is now seen as an inherent property of dynamic processes, where sensitivity to initial conditions and nonlinearity determine their evolution. Instead of perceiving uncertainty as an obstacle, we can interpret it as a catalyst for scientific discoveries and technological innovations.

Last year’s theme of complexity highlighted the interdisciplinary connections in research. This year, as part of the Night of Science, we will explore chaos as a fundamental mechanism of adaptation, evolution, and transformation in various systems. The event will open discussions on how scientific disciplines approach uncertainty and nonlinearity and what paradigmatic shifts these phenomena imply.

Quantum Physics and Chaos: Uncertainty as an Epistemological and Technological Imperative

At the quantum level, uncertainty is a fundamental property of systems. Quantum fluctuations, state superposition, and wave function collapse challenge classical notions of predictability and deterministic understanding of reality. Quantum physics thus provides a natural link between chaotic phenomena and the emergence of new orders, where uncertainty becomes a source of technological innovations.

The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025 offers a unique opportunity to explore the relationship between chaotic processes and quantum mechanics. Quantum algorithms utilize chaotic behavior to solve nonlinear problems, while quantum communication protocols introduce new standards of security and efficiency in information transmission.

Chaos in Nature and Society: Mechanisms of Stability and Transformation

In natural systems, chaos does not merely represent entropy but also stabilization and emergent organization. From climate processes and ecosystem interactions to neural networks and evolutionary mechanisms – nonlinear dynamics lead to the formation of self-organizing structures and adaptive strategies.

Similar principles apply to social and technological systems. Financial markets, digital networks, and information ecosystems exhibit chaotic behavioral patterns, where even minimal perturbations significantly influence global outcomes. This presents challenges for modeling, regulating, and managing complex systems.

Night of Science 2025 will offer an interdisciplinary perspective on the connection between chaos, quantum technologies, natural phenomena, and social dynamics. We will explore how uncertainty shapes innovation processes and what epistemological and technological implications we can extrapolate for a better future. Chaos is not just a challenge – it represents a potential key to new scientific paradigm shifts.

Argonne Quantum Education Summit

The Argonne Quantum Education Summit focuses on quantum science and its impact on the future of education and workforce development. This event convenes education leaders, administrators, and professionals who work with 3rd-12th grade schools, out-of-school time programs, and community colleges to explore quantum fields, discover potential career pathways, and access resources for integrating quantum concepts into education and workforce programs.

Quantum Jubilee

Omnicane Award 2025

This is an annual inter-college competition open to all secondary colleges in the Republic of Mauritius. This competition, sponsored by Omnicane Foundation through its Corporate Social Responsibility engagement, was established in 1971 and enables students each year to submit their project on a theme of national and international interest. Thus, each year, some 300 students (in teams of 5 students each) submit their projects based on research work, interviews, and discussions.

We have each year a competent independent jury panel chosen in relation to the theme who evaluate some 60 projects received before preselecting shortlisted teams who are invited to make an oral presentation based on which the winner and the two runners-up are awarded. To celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, this year’s theme is about finding innovative solutions for Mauritius’s most pressing challenges as a SIDS: Limited Arable land, vulnerability to climate change, and food security.

We are thus calling on the visionary minds of our youth to explore how quantum science and technology, through data analysis, crop improvement, and sustainable resource management, can help enhance agricultural productivity while promoting sustainability and resilience in our island nation. The project was launched on 10th February 2025, and the submission deadline is the first week of May 2025, while the winners and runner-ups will be announced in August 2025. It is noted that this project competition is endorsed by the Ministry of Education & Human Resources in Mauritius.
