The year 2025 will mark a century since the inception of quantum mechanics, a revolutionary field in science primarily established by Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger in 1925. To commemorate this milestone, 2025 has been designated as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), promoting global awareness of the profound impact of quantum discoveries on modern life—from GPS and medical imaging to renewable energy technologies. The celebration emphasizes collaborative efforts, initiated by Mexico and formalized by Ghana at the United Nations, and highlights the ongoing significance of quantum science in addressing critical global challenges, such as healthcare innovations, energy efficiency, and environmental conservation. The IYQ serves not only as a tribute to past achievements but also as a catalyst for future advancements and a commitment to inspire future generations in the realm of quantum exploration.
