The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology

Abstract On 7 June 2024, the United Nations proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). According to the proclamation, this year-long, worldwide initiative will “be observed through activities at all levels aimed at increasing public awareness of the importance of quantum science and applications.”

Abstract 2025 was proclaimed by the United Nations proclaimed the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). This year-long and worldwide initiative aims at increasing public awareness of the importance of quantum science and applications. As the world authority on chemical nomenclature and terminology, standardized methods for measurement, atomic weights and many other critically evaluated data, IUPAC is naturally a supporter. Compiled under the leadership of Russell Boyd and Manuel Yáñez acting as co-editors, a special issue of IUPAC journal Pure and Applied Chemistry (PAC) is dedicated to the celebration of IYQ.

Q uantum science is a hard nut to crack-even for the brightest physicists.But 2025 might offer a pivotal moment for raising public awareness of the field and its technological implications.The United Nations' declaration of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) is sparking a burst of outreach activities, with 100 events (and counting) planned globally.The year was officially kicked off on February 4-5 at an inauguration ceremony held at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) headquarters in Paris (see Research News: Curtain Rises on the Year of Quantum).At the ceremony, UNESCO unveiled its IYQ mascot, Quinnie, created by Jorge Cham, aka, PHD Comics, in collaboration with us at Physics Magazine.The mascot was developed during brainstorming sessions for a series of animated cartoons, which we will release throughout the year [1].Harnessing Cham's Quinnie and her dual sister.Credit: J.
