International Year of Quantum Launched by UN

The U.N. proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology to highlight the importance of quantum science and its applications in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 sustainable development goals. This year was chosen because 2025 marks 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics. It also marks a significant point in quantum computing and other quantum technologies achieving real-life applications.
