International Year of Quantum Science and Technology
International Year of Quantum
Quantum technology is a global revolution starting to solve the biggest challenges facing humanity.
Just like other revolutionary technologies - AI, the internet and the invention of the combustion engine – quantum will change our world in ways we cannot yet imagine.
Get involved in 2025 to find out more about the physics powering this technology and how it could change our future.
IYQ in the UK and Ireland
The Institute of Physics will mark the year across the UK and Ireland, supporting events and helping to raise awareness.
This will include quantum-related content from Physics World, a series of international initiatives led by IOP Publishing journals and quantum-themed events, featured on this page.
