Those in London on 14 April can join quantum researchers to learn about the latest advances in quantum engineering, science and technology and how they are being used to improve our lives. This free celebration is a collaboration with Imperial College's Quantum Centre for Engineering, Science and Technology (QuEST) and the London Centre for Nanotechnology.
World Quantum Day (14 April) and International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025 celebrated in the UK with events
April 9th 2025
Next Monday (14 April) will see World Quantum Day celebrated across the globe, including in the UK. This year's Quantum Day is a particularly significant as 2025 is International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), recognising 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics.
Meanwhile, those in Nottingham have until 27 April to visit 'Cosmic Titans: Art, Science and the Quantum Universe' a free exhibtion at the Djanogly Gallery and Museum in the Universtiy of Nottingham. This free exhibition unites art and science in a captivating exploration of the quantum universe and features new commissions by nine artists who have each spent time working alongside world-leading researchers in quantum physics.
Looking further ahead, the International Year of Quantum Science is being celebrated by the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) which is leading a ‘quantum zone’ at the Royal Society’s Summer Science Exhibition from 1 - 6 July, working with partners to showcase quantum science and technology across the UK.
The Summer Science Exhibition is a free, week-long festival celebrating the cutting edge of UK science, enabling visitors to engage with scientists as they unveil the secrets behind their ground-breaking research.
