PenteQost-25 is the second edition of the interdisciplinary and international undergraduate spring school on the Fundamentals of Quantum Science. Building on the success of the inaugural event, the school will once again be hosted by the University of Siegen, taking place from Friday afternoon, June 6, to Tuesday noon, June 10, 2025. Timed to align with the Pentecost weekend, the program minimizes conflicts with regular semester schedules.

The school is open to undergraduate and graduate students from diverse fields such as physics, mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering, offering a stimulating academic environment with lectures, interactive discussions, and collaborative sessions.

With the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, and their eccentric companions, Alice sips quantum paradoxes like others drink tea. Her perception of the microscopic world capsizes, carried away by phenomena that defy all logic. Dive into the fascinating world of quantum physics with Alice!

From the age of 6, come and explore the mysteries of the invisible through fun and interactive experiments led by passionate students and scientists, visits to cutting-edge research laboratories, and a quantum card game to discover.

Our goal is to bring together experts in quantum computing and related fields, providing a valuable opportunity to expand and strengthen interactions and collaborations.

AiQuest – Quantum Edition is the first Quantum Computing and Quantum Machine Learning contest in Algeria and the Arab Maghreb, and the second in North Africa.

It brings together top talents from across the country to explore the future through quantum computing and machine learning. Teams of four enthusiasts will compete non-stop for 36 hours at the Higher School of Computer Science in Sidi Bel Abbès, starting from May 1st, 2025, to solve a series of challenges and dive into the world of quantum computing.

Les physiciens adorent repousser les limites du possible, en particulier quand ils explorent le monde quantique, à coups de cryostat à dilution, d’enclume diamant, d’accélérateurs, de flashs lasers… Alors, pourquoi ne pas raconter cela de façon tout aussi extrême, avec l’exposé le plus petit au monde ? Cet exposé, conçu avec la graphiste Juliette Nier, tient… dans quatre boîtes d’allumettes ! Attendez-vous à être surpris et à découvrir de façon originale et ludique les laboratoires les plus extrêmes au monde !

Join The Hertz Foundation to explore the world of quantum computing as it rapidly generates breakthroughs and develops. In this Hertz Innovation Hour, Dr. Kenneth Brown, 1998 Hertz Fellow, will take us on a deep dive into the future of quantum computing. The session will explore Ken’s cutting-edge developments in the science behind quantum computing, from the foundations of qubits to the intricacies of quantum error correction.
Join us for a presentation and Q&A with Ken, a distinguished professor of engineering at Duke University and Hertz Fellow. Ken’s depth of knowledge and research extends from theoretical issues in quantum information technologies to cold molecular ions and trap quantum computing.

This Hertz Foundation Innovation Hour will be moderated by 2023 Hertz Fellow Beatriz Yankelevich and will take place live on Thursday, May 22, 2025, from 12:00–1:00 p.m. Eastern / 9:00–10:00 a.m. Pacific, using the Zoom video conference platform.

Transformative advances in quantum-enabled imaging science enable Guinness record-breaking resolution. Learn how to leverage 2D/3D electron ptychography with lectures and hands-on tutorials by leading researchers from Cornell University and MIT.
Electron ptychography is a groundbreaking quantum-based imaging technique that leverages phase retrieval and coherent electron wavefronts to achieve Guinness record-breaking resolution.

Through keynote talks and hands-on sessions, the event will demystify how quantum mechanics is not just theoretical but essential to next-generation imaging and technology development.

The workshop will convene a diverse group of physicists, materials scientists, and microscopists from leading global institutions. By offering theoretical and practical training, it supports shared capacity building and knowledge transfer.

We believe inclusion on the IYQ website will help amplify its impact and inspire greater participation in the quantum future.

The Quantum Frontiers Symposium, hosted by the ARUA Centre of Excellence in Materials, Energy, and Nanotechnology (CoE-MEN), will be a hybrid event held in celebration of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. This unique gathering will bring together South African researchers in person, alongside ARUA CoE-MEN member universities and associate partners from The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities, who will participate either virtually or in person.

The symposium aims to showcase cutting-edge research on quantum materials, foster meaningful interdisciplinary exchange, and establish collaborative networks across Africa and Europe. The programme will feature presentations by leading researchers in the field of quantum materials, as well as poster sessions highlighting the work of emerging scholars, including students and postdoctoral fellows.

The event will serve as a platform to explore the role of quantum materials in future technologies, while promoting dialogue, mentorship, and partnerships among top researchers, early-career scientists, and institutions committed to advancing quantum science on the continent and beyond.

A series of short weekly or bi-weekly videocasts, to celebrate the centenary of Quantum Mechanics #IYQ2025, and popularise the ideas and developments therein over the last 100 years, right up to the latest quantum technologies

Come listen to Gerard Milburn of the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre talk about how quantum computing is changing the game in real-world applications!

On behalf of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS) and the Australian Institute of Physics, Queensland branch (AIP), we are pleased to invite you to a public lecture by Gerard Milburn, a pioneer in quantum technologies, on the real-world applications of quantum computing. This event will take place on the evening of 13 May at Brisbane City Hall, Brisbane Room, to celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.

This lecture will explore how quantum computing is being applied to tackle complex, real-world challenges across industries. Whether you are an expert in the field or simply interested in its potential, this event promises valuable insights into the future of quantum technologies.

Arrival is 5:45pm for a 6:00pm start. Following the talk, there will be light refreshments where attendees can engage directly with Professor Milburn and other leading academics in the quantum physics industry.
