The United Nations has declared 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), recognizing the importance and potential of quantum technologies. The year-long initiative will celebrate the impacts of quantum science on technology, culture, and our understanding of the natural world while marking a century since the development of wave mechanics and matrix mechanics. The UN regards quantum science and technology research and development as relevant to achieving the Sustainability Development Goals with the ability to advance health and well-being, inequality reduction, industry and infrastructure, economic growth, climate action, and clean energy.
