International Year of Quantum Science and Technology

100 years after the formulation of quantum mechanics in 1925, the United Nations have proclaimed 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). In Germany, a wide range of events and activities were being organised under the motto ‘Quantum2025 - 100 years are just the beginning...’. The Cluster of Excellence was also taking part in the anniversary year.

 

The formulation of quantum mechanics a hundred years ago laid a lasting foundation for our physical understanding of nature. For this reason, the UN General Assembly has proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.

This year-long global initiative has honoured the pioneering contributions of quantum science to technological progress over the past 100 years and raised global awareness of its importance for achieving sustainable development in the 21st century.

As a cluster of Excellence we took this as a welcome opportunity to present us and our research in many different ways throughout the year: we brought science and art together, sang at concerts and held open days. We gave lectures, attended city festivals, launched political initiatives, screened films and much more. It was truly an extraordinary year.
