Quantum Year Wrap-Up 2025 — A National Gathering on the State of Quantum Science in Brazil

On December 12th, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (BRT), the IBM São Paulo headquarters will host a distinguished scientific convening: the Quantum Year Wrap-Up 2025. This event marks a solemn and celebratory closing of the Brazilian quantum-science calendar, bringing together leading voices from across the country to reflect on the year’s most significant achievements.

The gathering will feature researchers, professors, PhD scholars, early-career scientists, and undergraduate students from universities throughout Brazil, alongside members of the Feynman Quantum Computing Academic League (LACQ). Each participant will present the major milestones, insights, and breakthroughs that shaped their quantum research in 2025—from advances in quantum algorithms and simulation techniques to progress in hardware platforms such as superconducting circuits and photonics.

The event will highlight not only scientific results, but also collaborative initiatives, educational innovations, and community-building efforts that contributed to strengthening the Brazilian quantum-technology ecosystem during the past year.

A portion of the program will be livestreamed in partnership with Microsoft Reactor São Paulo, ensuring that the broader academic and scientific community can participate remotely.

The Quantum Year Wrap-Up stands as a symbolic moment of convergence, recognition, and forward-looking dialogue—an opportunity to honor the work accomplished in 2025 and to reinforce Brazil’s commitment to advancing quantum science with excellence, openness, and international collaboration.

This is the global ELSA of the quantum technologies event under IYQ.

Quantum computing and other quantum-driven technologies have been a field of technology investment for decades. With promising potential, significant investments from many governmental and industrial parties are poured into winning the race. The SIGSPATIAL community is building a capacity in that promising technology field.

This workshop aims to bring together SIGSPATIAL community members interested in exploring quantum technologies in spatial systems and applications. It will also invite non-SIGSPATIAL members who are experts in the field of quantum technologies to enrich the community and foster learning and collaboration. The workshop will be open to all levels of expertise, allowing participants to contribute or learn.

QIran was pleased to host two quantum computing workshops in collaboration with the Isfahan Physics House: QPrep20 (October 7–9, 2025) and QBronze172 (October 12–30, 2025). These free, in-person workshops were designed to introduce participants to the exciting world of quantum computing through practical, hands-on learning.

The programs covered essential topics such as Python programming, basic linear algebra, classical and quantum systems, quantum operators, entanglement, and key quantum algorithms.

Held at the Isfahan Physics House, the workshops featured materials in English and instruction in Persian, making them accessible to participants from diverse academic backgrounds.

Open to university and graduate students, researchers, professors, and professionals from across Isfahan, Iran, these workshops provided a unique opportunity to gain foundational knowledge and become part of Iran’s growing quantum computing community.
