IYQ 2025

This year (2025) also marks the International Year of Quantum, highlighting 100 years since the inception of the development of quantum mechanics: the centenary of the foundation of Matrix Mechanics ('Dreimännerarbeit' by Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and Pascual Jordan), which provided the first mathematically consistent and rigorous formalism framework that replaced the old quantum theory models initially pioneered by Max Planck (followed by Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, etc.), until Wave Mechanics (by Erwin Schrödinger and later by Paul Dirac) acquired recognition for its intuitive nature.

Happy World Quantum Day!

World Quantum Day

The former Provost of Imperial College London, Professor Ian Walmsley, announced the following messages during the celebration in the last year.

Quote from Professor Ian Walmsley, Provost and Chair in Experimental Physics

Quantum technologies are no longer confined to theory — they’re transforming industries, societies, and futures. And Imperial is proud to be at the forefront of this transformation.

Imperial's Quantum Day 2025 is more than just a celebration — it’s a live showcase of where quantum science is heading next. But the true power of Quantum Day lies in its people — the brilliant minds turning complex theory into practical impact.

We believe innovation thrives at the intersection of disciplines. Quantum Day is a moment to connect, reflect, and look ahead — as we continue to shape a future defined by quantum possibility.
